Can i display the data which are in the advanced custom fields using shortcodes without editing theme codes, in my web page front end. If the answer is yes, how can i do this? If not are there any methods to do that easily without deep coding knowledge.
chatGPT says yes but I couldn’t.
Yes, you can. There is an ACF shortcode. See here: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/shortcode/
[acf field="field_name"]
You can also pass a post id to get the field of another post:
[acf field="field_name" post_id="123"]
However, this does not work for all field types. But there is a Wordpress plugin with which you can display the custom fields called ACF Views: https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-views/

I have a problem that hopefully you will help me solve.
I'm am pretty new with this job and don't know pretty much anything about coding yet. I built some websites using Elementor but never touched WooCommerce before and now I am working on a real estate website with lots of houses uplouded as a Custom Post Type (which I will call "ANN").
My problem is: my client wants to have a live catalogue of the selling houses for ADS and stuff.
Searching the Web I figured out that WooCommerce is the best way to do it even if I don't need the shopping cart (if you have other ideas are welcome) but as far as I understand WC have ITS OWN CPT "Product" and I wonder how canI set it to use my ANN instead of PRODUCT to the listing?
Is that possible?
The main problem is that there are lots of real estate ads already uplouded so change them is a no go.
I'm using JetEngine plugin for the CPT, Filters, etc.. if this can help somehow.
Thank you for you time!
You could achieve that with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, but you're gonna need elementor pro.
You can create all the additional fields for the information you need to be displayed in that post type using ACF.
See this link for more information: Creating a Field Group
Make sure your custom post type supports custom fields, if you created it with the CPT UI plugin, you can check that by editing your custom post type and scrolling all the way down. You should see a section with a list of things supported by your custom post type, check custom fields and save.
Then create a template for the custom post type using Elementor's theme builder: How to Create a WordPress Single-Post Template in Elementor
Add the custom fields to the template using the ACF integration with Elementor: Elementor Integration With ACF
Lastly, create a custom loop for your custom post type archive using the Elementor custom skin plugin, so yiu can display the custom fields also in the archive if you need to:

Is there any option? So I can add an option on any custom post via WordPress customization? Actually, I added a custom post on my WordPress theme. Here user needs to add font awesome icon. But I do not want to add option tree metabox and not a custom field. A user will not remember different custom field. So Is there any option?
At some level you are going to end up adding something like a custom field to your post. However, I agree that the user interface for custom fields is clunky and non-intuitive. I agree with you that making an end-user use that would be a bad idea.
Instead, I would recommend using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. It enables you to add meta-data to posts, pages and/or custom post types. It's extremely flexible, intuitively designed and well-documented.
ACF permits you to place your custom field in a variety of places on the Add Post (or custom post) page: just below the visual editor window, on the right with the meta-boxes, or in a meta-box.

I've a custom post-type "video" and i enabled custom fields already.
i need to create three custom fields, 1. video file, 2. video url, 3. video code.
i tried couple of tutorials on tutsplus and other sites but not get working as i need.
anyone can help.
Wordpress has a built in api function, add_meta_box which you can use to output the form fields for your post meta. in the post_type argument you need to put 'video'
In order to capture the form input you need to use the save_post action, take a look here
Easiest way is to use a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields. You'll have a nice interface to add your custom fields and to choose on which post type to show them.
I have a question about adding new text box in the post content type.I found one module for this "custom fields".Other than that is it possible to create it as a module?
custom fields where introduced to store those kind of informations. but they doesn't look good.
thats why wp hackers introduced metaboxes - they are based on custom fields (data are stored in same way) but kan look better. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_meta_box
my favorite class for fast creating metaboxes is http://farinspace.com/wpalchemy-metabox/
i would go for Wordpress Multiple Content Blocks plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multiple-content-blocks/
you can have different text areas for different page templates
I use the Advanced Custom Fields plugin (http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/) for this, it's the best plugin I've come across.
