Hi Konrad,
Thanks for replying. So, just to double-check my understanding; if I create a form in ACF Extended, any ACF custom field groups/fields that I include in that form will be written to the post.
However, the values of those groups/fields will not actually be visible on the post unless extra code is added to te single.php template to display them?
Code for some fields (e.g. title, content, featured image) is already included in the single.php template, so those fields and only those fields will display by default?
Is my understanding correct?
If so, is there a standard block of code that can be added to single.php that will display all ACF fields that have been stored in the post in a nice format, without repeating any fields that are displayed by default in the theme?
What happens if my users have edit roles and click ‘edit’ on the post. Will they be able to see and edit the ACF fields or will they also only see and be able to edit the default single.php fields?
If the latter, is there a standard block of code that can be added to single.php to allow all ACF fields that have been stored in the post to be displayed and edited in an appropriate format, without repeating any fields that are displayed by default in the theme?
Sorry for all the questions ??
Hi,
Thanks for responding so quickly Konrad, here’s everything except the developer mode – I’ll dig up those results tomorrow. I don’t think that is the problem though as the fields are showing in the post when in edit mode, just not in view mode.
The ACF fields appear if I go to the page with the embedded short code / ACFE form in vidw mode. Clicking submit creates the new post.
If I go into the post in edit mode, I see the ACF field values. If I go into it in view mode, I only see the featured image.

Hi Michael,
Sorry for my slow response.. things have been a bit hectic.
I need to remove the plugin from my instance and I have been able to deactivate it, but there is no option to actually delete it on the plugin admin screen. Do I need to do something specific to be able to fully remove it (including removing it from the admin menu)?

Firstly, thanks for responding.
For Item 1: It does appear in the list of available posts.
For Item 2: Is there something that might need to be manually added to the ColorMag theme files to allow custom post content to be shown?
