Editing an options page

    I have created an options page with Advanced Customs Fields.
    It contains 4 fields which hold data which is displayed as dynamic content.

    How do I use ACF Frontend to show these fields so my site admin can change the contents and update?

    I have custom post types which work great with ACF Frontend but I can’t find a way to use it for my options page.

    Help please..

    Hello

    This is actually a pro feature.

    Thanks Shabti. I am happy to buy the PRO version. The only thing preventing it is the oustanding query I have around populating things like post_title with dynamic content from another field.

    You are in luck because we just updated the plugin and fixed this feature. Now you can use our field shortcodes in the post title or post slug default value input and you will have a dynamically generated post title. We will write up documentation for this soon.

    Regarding your query being outstanding, we have just highly improved our support team and we have a new head of support, so there will be no more outstanding queries, I can assure you.

    Thanks Shabti. Is this feature meant to be fixed in the latest version (3.0.28)?
    I have just tried again populating from an ACF field but it still isn’t working.

    I have a form with multiple fields and I am trying to basically say:
    post_title = ACF field (“dog”)
    post_excerpt = ACF field (“Breed”)

    Could be the way I’m using it?

    Create a title field and inside of default value, write [acf:field_name]

    The [acf] now works like a dream. Thank you @shabti
    I have purchased the PRO version now but I can’t find any info on updating my custom options page.

    If I add the options page to a form, I don’t see the fields I have set up. I only see the admin information (e.g.menu slug, menu title etc..). none of which are on my backend options page.

    Can you point me to any documentation that will help me understand how to use this properly?
