ACF Field not displaying on Front End

[ad_1]

Hi,

a while ago someone created a post template for me, with ACF, so I can create ‘best * books’ lists on my site. The template has the ability to list up to 30 books, I have added filler content to it so you can view it here:

Sample Blog Post

I have a couple of problems with it, I hope someone can help.

#1 ACF Custom Field not displaying

I decided that instead of having the book title and the author name in the same field (EG: Book One by Author) and in one line, I would create a separate field for the author name, make the text slightly smaller and run it under the book title. Since I didn’t build the ACF fields myself, I thought the best way to do this would be to duplicate the title field, then rename it and use CSS to style it smaller, etc.

I did that, and the field appears in the ACF Group Edit tab, and in the correct place in the WP Post Editor, but it doesn’t appear on the front end when viewing the page. So I must have overlooked something but don’t know what. Any ideas?

#2 Adding dividers between fields

Referring to the same page on my site:

Sample Blog Post

Just for visual purposes, I would like to add a divider line / decorative device of some kind in two different places. I would like to add one above the ‘TOP 10 LIST OF BOOKS’ title (between that title and the paragraphs of intro text), as a division between the top paragraph text, that introduces the list, then the list itself.

I also want to add one between each book section.

I’ve been trying to do this with CSS but can’t seem to figure out the best way. EG: A ‘border-bottom’ added to the paragraph text sits too close to the text it is below, and a border-top added to the ‘TOP 10 LIST OF BOOKS’ title will wrap with the title, so that doesn’t work either. I tried a few other things but couldn’t get anything to look good.

Is there any way of adding css to ACF itself, so it carries through to the page?

Thanks to anyone reading this!
