Title: ACF Support Last modified: July 20, 2020 --- # ACF Support * Resolved [polyfade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/polyfade/) * (@polyfade) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-support-20/) * Is ACF supported? I followed the instructions here: [https://wpadvancedads.com/manual/allow-custom-meta-boxes-on-ad-edit-screen/](https://wpadvancedads.com/manual/allow-custom-meta-boxes-on-ad-edit-screen/) * Still, my ACF group doesn’t show up on any of the Advanced Ads edit pages. * This is kind of a dealbreaker for us. * Newer plugins like [Ads for WP](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ads-for-wp/) may have other things wrong with it, but they allow their plugin to be expanded upon. In ACF, I can see their custom post type and easily add my ACF group.

Right now, I don’t think this plugin is exposed to ACF. In any case, it doesn’t see it as a custom post type. * Basically, I’d like to include an image field for photo, text field for a headline, and text area field for some basic info. This way our ads would appear legible at any screen size and consistent with our brand. Also, adding different sized ads based on screen size would be irrelevant for the editor to prepare or worry about since the ad would automatically stack on smaller screens with a little CSS. * ACF provides a middle ground between a fully prepared inaccessible image ad and custom HTML the editor shouldn’t have to wrangle with. * [schmidt25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schmidt25/) * (@schmidt25) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-support-20/#post-13160153) * Hi polyfade, * Thanks for the clarification. Your idea sounds terrific. * I am not sure why the solution described in our documentation doesn’t work on your website. * Would it be possible to send us (support@wpadvancedads.com) some screenshots of your modifications to figure out what is going wrong there and to find a solution to integrate ACF and AA smoothly? * Best regards, Joachim * [schmidt25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schmidt25/) * (@schmidt25) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-support-20/#post-13230865) * Hi polyfade, * I am still curious about your ACF integration with Advanced Ads. I would be very happy if you could find your way into our [support channel](https://wpadvancedads.com/support/) and send us some screenshots of your modifications. * Best regards, Joachim * Thread Starter [polyfade](https://wordpress.org/support/users/polyfade/) * (@polyfade) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-support-20/#post-13244590) * [@schmidt25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schmidt25/) Sorry, it wasn’t my intention to ignore you. I couldn’t get ACF integrated into Advanced Ads. It would’ve required touching the plugin files – which would be messy in future updates. Besides, it was beyond my comprehension once I started looking at the plugin files. * Advanced Ads has a templates addon: [https://wpadvancedads.com/manual/ad-templates/](https://wpadvancedads.com/manual/ad-templates/) * However, I couldn’t tell if it was as extensible as I needed. The way Modern Tribe’s The Event Calendar allows you to extend templates is what I was looking for. [https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/customizing-template-files-2/](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/customizing-template-files-2/) * I don’t want to post the plugin here I ended up using because that’s not my intent, but will gladly give you a more in-depth screencast by submitting a support ticket on your website. * I am not married to this other plugin, but because of time constraint and the needs of this project, I needed a solution on par with Advanced Ads that allowed ACF integration with little effort. * Thanks for your interest and support. * [schmidt25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schmidt25/) * (@schmidt25) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-support-20/#post-13267133) * Hi polyfade, * Thanks for your reply. * I am really excited about your integration and I would be very happy if you could [contact our support directly](https://wpadvancedads.com/support/) and refer to this thread in your message. Let’s see what we get. * Best regards, Joachim Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘ACF Support’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/advanced-ads/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=2773443) * [Advanced Ads – Ad Manager & AdSense](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-ads/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-ads/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-ads/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-ads/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-ads/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-ads/reviews/) ## Tags * [ACF](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/acf/) * 6 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [schmidt25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schmidt25/) * Last activity: [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-support-20/#post-13267133) * Status: resolved
