First of all, Great plugin guys!

I would like to know if it is possible to display Field Group in a shortcode.

I know I can use [acf field="field_name"] but can I do [acf field="field_group_name"] or something like that?

Thank you!

Hi @idomskt

No there’s no such shortcode I’m afraid. You’ll have to place a shortcode for each field in that field group. I honestly didn’t even know there where a shortcode for displaying ACF values (and I’ve been using it for many years).. haha.

If you’re not afraid of doing a bit of coding yourself there’s a way to get all of the ACF meta fields + values associated with a post/page with PHP:

Hello,

Try putting [acf field="YOUR GROUP NAME"] to show all the content of the group separated by commas.

I have not found a way to show each Field separately.
Does anyone have any ideas?

You can do this with the Custom Content Shortcode Plugin.

It works great with ACF.

For this it would look like:

[repeater acf_group_field_name]
[field acf_sub_field_name]
[/repeater]
