I created a custom post type (eg. Hotels) using CPT UI and attached some custom fields (eg. hotel-address, hotel-phone, etc.) using the free version of the ACF plugin. I’ve created some test “Hotels” with these new fields.
When I try to display them using the ACF shortcode \[acf field=”hotel-address”\] in a Hotel-specific template in the *Twenty Twenty-Three* theme and using the Site Editor, nothing is displayed for any of my custom fields. I tried using the built-in Shortcode block and well as entering it in a normal Paragraph block. Neither worked.
However, when I create a custom shortcode in the functions.php file that calls ACF’s get\_field() method, that works just fine.
So my questions are:
1. Are the ACF shortcodes supposed to work in the Site Editor/FSE Themes for the free version?
2. Is the ability to display custom fields using ACF capabilities only available in the paid version when using the Site Editor/FSE Themes like Twenty Twenty-three?
3. Is there some other way you can pull in ACF field data using the Site Editor using the free plugin (other than creating your own custom shortcodes)?
