Hi @shark1926

I’m sorry that I don’t quite understand your question. Could you please explain it in more detail. If you can share some screenshots of the issue, that would be great!

If you want to create a shortcode, please take a look at this documentation: https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API.

Thanks!

I have a shortcode like this: [recent_posts num=”3″ post_format=”standard” meta=”false” thumb=”true” category=”news” excerpt_count=”0″ custom_class=”recentPotsType2″]

Could i put a custom field into this shortcode as an attribute like meta or thumb for example?

Hi @shark1926

It depends on how you handle that shortcode and how you want it to work. Please take a look at the link I gave you before to learn more about creating a hook. Also, please check ACF documentation to check how to use it?

Thanks!
