Using ACF fields as filters

Anonymous

#258650

I am using ACF alongside Search & Filter pro and cannot work out how to show results based on the selection of a custom field in ACF.

I have added 3 custom fields but these are not showing up in the ‘Available fields’ section when I go to build a new search form. Can someone explain where I can find these options?

You mean in the meta key list in the field settings of the Form UI? Here?

When selecting the meta key, note a ‘gotcha’ with ACF ….

… it makes 3 meta keys per field, like this (in this example for a field named ‘land’):

#1 _land
#2 field_52f0fc4334f52
#3 land

In our Meta Key selection list, you need to use key #3, without the underscore at the start of the key name. If you choose #1 by mistake, in the field choices you will see the name of #2.

The key name for you field will appear once you have stored data terms to a post using that custom field.
