Enabling ACF for Dummies

  • Hi all,

    I’m trying to implement ACF in a simple portfolio website.
    What I want to achieve: Create portfolio templates, that have fixed fields (Client, Project name, etc.) that when filled, will display said information on the website.
    I thought ACF would be a good solution for this.

    In my website builder (a simple theme builder) I have the option of adding shortcodes for the respective ACF fields. These however appear blank on the website.
    I’m trying to debug this issue and read online, that ACF shortcodes need to be activated first.

    I tried activating those with the code provided, however I’m not tech-savvy enough to really understand, where this code needs to go and how it can be executed, as well as how I can see, whether it has been enabled, and the problem lies elsewhere.

    Could somebody guide my how to enable this code:
    add_action( 'acf/init', 'set_acf_settings' );
    function set_acf_settings() {
    acf_update_setting( 'enable_shortcode', true );
    }

    Thank you very much in advance!

  • Hi! Does anybody have tips on how to achieve this?
    Many thank!
