Right, i don’t understand where the custom fields values are in my wordpress database!!!
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot
Hi @filogti
No worries. ACF is really just a UI for the native custom fields in WP. Therefore, you can use all the functions that WP offer to query posts in the DB based on custom fields.
You should take a look at the get_posts function. It uses the same args as the WP_Query object and allows you to query the database.
Good luck
Cheers
