Tagged: acf
Hi,
Trying to get the search to populate a field I have in ACF called ‘City’ and I have around 20 names in the Categories using the Select option
I have cross check my database to make sure i have chosen the correct ACF field, and tried to use the “auto Suggest” for the “Post meta” option, but it wont gram the city names
Any ideas?
Thanks
Neil
Hey Neil
It sounds like you are not using the correct meta key.
An alternative could be that you haven’t added any cities to your posts yet? The way “auto suggest” works it that it searches the meta data of your posts to find the values, it doesn’t take them directly from ACF so until some posts have cities added to them S&F will not find them.
Thanks
