Custom Post Type / Custom Fields CRASH COURSE with GeneratePress & GenerateBlocks

This is the video I've been waiting for. Not because I don't understand CPT's but because you show how to use them them with GeneratePress/Blocks. Brilliant. Thank you.

I moderate a little community for a WP theme-building plugin designed for people working with custom fields and I'm always amazed that some people discover our plugin without understanding how custom post types, fields, and taxonomies work in the first place. This is going to become my go-to video to introduce the concept! Thanks for explaining this so simply but thoroughly :)

Thanks Kyle! This blew my world wide open. I was stuck on one little issue with my query loops and this cleared it right up. Awesome. One question? I saw that Leo from GP made a content template for an archive card and applied that to a query loop. Is this possible with a custom post type archive?

Kyle, this is super informative and good tutorial flow.

I just want to say thank you for introducing this! This is super helpful and I no longer have to write custom HTML CSS!!!

Hi Kyle! Have you been using the latest version of ACF? The UI/UX is much better.

I did run into one issue with GP Pro and the latest version of ACF. Fields assigned with Text Area and WYSIWIG aren't showing the line or paragraph breaks.

Awesome man! Great content and well presented. Inspiring and very helpful. LGTW!! (let's get to work) lol

Can I do it with metabox custom field?

AMAZING. This is getting easier with every update to these plugins. It is an incredibly powerful yet lightweight combination of plugins to do 99 % of what you could want to do with a website. Thank you so much for that video :)

Is the toggle for events (taxonomies) on your site done with javascript? Or is that a block?

Cool tutorial. Thanks. Learning how to use CPT has been in plans for a long time. After this video now it's clear how to use it.

Thanks, useful video, but for some reason, the image didn't show up for me, despite following the instructions. Any ideas?

Wow...!
😳

Thanks for the step by step explanation. My ACF image fields are not pulled dynamically by the GB image block (dynamic data is set up correctly). What might be the problem? Text fields are fine. thanks

very interesting. thanks. I love learning about cpt/cf. please do more.

Why did you install ACF, if you didn't use it?
This seems really quick and easy. Was searching YT for a video like this a couple of days ago, one that shows how to do it with Generate tools.
Thank you!

Dude. After struggling so long I FINALLY did what i wanted to do. I have a travel site and was really struggling with WP all import and getting the hotel listings in the correct design including custom fields. You have saved me so much time. My gratitude is infinite.

Great video, Kyle. I really like the idea of adding taxonomies to be able to sort testimonials. I happen to be working on adding a CPT for testimonials and how I found your video today. Hope all is well with you!

Amazing. Thanks for the fab tutorial. Great combo of plugins. I was looking at ACF Pro as an approach to a page builder. But, this grouping of plugins massively reduces the level of complexity. Easy-to-use backend for Editors and a flexible front-end layout builder for the less dev-savy user.

Nicely explained. Perfect speed and level of detail. A question: Let's say a CPT is set up to have an image as you've demonstrated. What happens when there is no image? For example, 90% of CPT's have images but 10% do not. What happens?

Great tutorial again, I´ve never understood CPT and ACF. Thank´s a lot Kyle. :)

Great tutorial! We followed along to create an events section on our website. How can we make it so events that are past are removed from the query loop?

Thanks for this video Kyle. Very clear and easy to follow. It really helped move along. I noticed you have a video embed. Do you have a minute to share how you displayed it?

Hello Kyle, what would be your Suggestion: work with custom taxonomies or handle this past and future information with custom fields as part of the event cpt?

This is so helpful and clear. Thanks a lot

Interesting video. I agree it's very important to learn cpt/acf however I recommend staying away from the admin bar community on Facebook. Their admins are toxic and like to bully people for having a different opinion then ban you when you finally get fed up with the bullying.

Going to watch this 10 times

Many thanks Kyle great work! I have sind questions if I may: for a customer I want to generate a post template. I have four different post categories but they should all use the same template. Can I use the standard WordPress categories in the custom post type or do I have to go down the route you described right at the end of the video? Many thanks Klaus

Is it possible to use the text area and when inserting the heading it will be a generateblock headline?

This is definitely helpful and I have a question, how to sort data by custom field like I have a custom field position and I want to sort data by position

Hi, what I need to do is have my custom posts act like standard posts, so like say I have the query set to give me the most recent 10 posts it would show both standard Wordpress posts AND the custom posts. How do I do that?

Thank you for the video. The dynamic data work for every field except repeater field. I searched the internet and haven't found any information about using generate block with repeater field. Can you make a video about this please?

is meta box better than ACF?

make a video on same topic but 2023 this video is 1 year old and wordpress and plugin is also updated

Your explanation is super clear and very helpul. Thanks for share us

Hi! Great Video! Just wondering is there a way to create post / pages straight from ACF data and not creating a new post manually one by one? for exmaple if your acf data already have title fields and it uses the title text / string to create a new post page automatically? seems like this video is half dynamically since you have create a new post for all the date in ACF....

how did you do the .w15 shortcut?

Great. How do you filter the list based on the button you clicked, All, Past or Future. It looks like the page stayed the same, so not different pages. Would love to know how that was implemented. Thank you!

Another AHA moment, thanks to your teaching, Kyle! I'm not sure if ACF has had an update but I only needed that one plugin to get everything up and running.

Why just not use an event plugin free or premium ?

What about using AirTable for feeding ACF ... is it possible? Thanks for your content!! so helpful!!

Hello, your content about Generateblocks and ACF has been helpful to me but I have a problem. Custom fields that are not text, such as select or files type custom fields (attach a file), are not recognized by Generateblocks. How can I show those custom fields in WordPress blocks? My version of Generateblocks and ACF is the free version. Thank you and you have a new subscriber.

All your tutorials are really great. This one in particular is so helpful! Literally saved me days 🙏🙏

Thank you for this video. I had been searching for this video for the last 2 months. ❤

I went looking for information, your face popped up in the search. I immediately thought, "Oh yes, this wonderful man." So I'm echoing that out loud. You give so much and are so valued by so many of us.
