Fields from other plug ins

    Hi
    I have two questions:
    Question 1:
    I have bought the pro version and I am trying to get my head around Creating a post. I have three Post templates created by Elementor that on selection of category load custom layouts including ACF fields embedded with your plugin. I also created a custom Archive page with Elementor and added the Create Post button. But some of the Post options with ACF Frontend widget don’t display as they do in your video. Is this is because it will only work with the default WordPress Post type?

    Question 2 – important
    I’m using a third party Google maps plug-in (WP Google Map Pro) which displays it’s fields under the advanced panels in the back end of the Post. It includes basic settings for lat long, adding a marker and selecting a published Map. Once I figure out the Create Post problem, can these fields be available when creating a post on the front end?

    Thanks for your time

    Hello,
    Regarding your first question, my plugin supports custom post types, so that’s not why it’s not working.
    Are you using a elementor pop-up template to show the form? That could be the issue.

    As for your second question, if the fields save as post meta data and you know how to find the meta name, then you be able to create ACF fields that correspond to these fields and add them to the form

    Hi Shabti
    And thanks for your reply
    The field selection in the widget aren’t appearing for me as they in your video, which I suspect because it is dated. There is also an issue where when trying to crate a Post, I can’t add a form without at least one ACF field present. All I’m am trying to do is create a post with a title, content, and category applied. The pre-defined Post category (1 of 3) then loads the Post template designed in Elementor. Those templates forms ready to go.

    Do you have up-to-date documentation for this widget? I can’t seem to find it on your site
    Do you have any tips on how to find the meta names for fields contained in another plug in?
    Do you have tips on styling the forms?

    Hello there! You are right about my videos, they are of date, I am working on making updated videos as well written documentation very soon.

    To get the all meta names on the bottom of a post, use this code (for staging purposes only):

    add_action('wp_footer', function(){
$post_id = get_the_ID();

$myvals = get_post_meta($post_id);

foreach($myvals as $key => $val)
{
    echo $key . ' : ' . $val[0] . '<br/>';
}
});

    We just added styling options to the pro version. You have the pro version, don’t you?
    We added styles for the form title and the various buttons, but there is more on the way

    Check out this cool video from Paul at WPTuts on how to use this plugin

    oohhhhhh, I thought it was great!

    We wrote to WPTuts a while ago saying that it would be great if they made a tutorial on how to edit forms from the frontend and I indicated this wonderful plugin.

    I can’t believe it …….. it’s fantastic !!
