Walkthrough Overview
About This Video Guide
In this video I take you through a real world example of making a custom post type with ACF.
We make a backup in WP Engine and then activate ACF Pro.
Our new step is to create a custom post type for our Golf Course Website.
After making the custom post type we make our custom fields and make sure they are all showing on the custom post editing page.
