Use an ACF as a slug of a URL?

I have ACF Pro, and I want to create a custom field that is specific to a user that I can add to the end of the URL.

Example:

Username: Gerry3454

ACF Name: Username that populates Gerry3454 for this user when logged in

URL of button or menu: https://www.example.com/{Username} which for Gerry, would be https://www.example.com/Gerry3454

How can I make this happen?

To do this you need to use custom rewrite rules and custom url tags in WP. Here is a discussion on this https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/248758/rewrite-rules-for-custom-post-type-slug

Okay thanks. How would I implement an ACF field with the custom rewrite rules and URL tags?

I posted a link to a conversation that discusses how it it done.
