Hi,
I am not develloper and i dont get where to use this ??

https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/displaying-custom-field-values-in-your-theme/

I dont get this doc at all!

All values are saved as native post_meta (when saved to a post) and although you can use the native WP function get_post_meta(), it is better practice to use the relevant ACF function such as get_field(). Why? Because ACF will format the value depending on the field type and make development quicker and easier!

To retrieve a field value as a variable, use the get_field() function. This is the most versatile function which will always return a value for any type of field.

To display a field, use the the_field() in a similar fashion.

Here’s a basic usage example, and please be sure to view the code example page for more.

This …. ?? How to use it??

<?php

/**
* Template Name: Home Page
*/

get_header();

?>

<div id=”primary”>
<div id=”content” role=”main”>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<h1><?php the_field(‘custom_title’); ?></h1>

” />

<p><?php the_content(); ?></p>

<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

</div><!– #content –>
</div><!– #primary –>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I just want simply display fields + Prepend and Append. Ho to do that ??
Can you please use a non-developper language to explain ??
