Hi,
i understand you have this field created using Custom Fields extension. If so then when you edit the field (using Custom Fields editor) then in the “Display Settings” section in field “Display” you can select not to show this field in the frontend.

We do want to show it to site visitors, but it has to be filled out by our staff, so we don’t want to show it to the person creating the Ad.
Add the code below in your theme functions.php file it will allow you to hide a field in the frontend forms
add_filter( "adverts_form_load", function( $form ) {
if( is_admin() ) {
return $form;
}
if( $form["name"] != "advert" ) {
return $form;
}
foreach( $form["field"] as $k => $field ) {
if( $field["name"] == "field_to_hide_in_frontend" ) {
unset( $form["field"][$k] );
}
}
return $form;
} );
Just replace “field_to_hide_in_frontend” with actual name of the field you do not want to show in the frontend forms.

Perfect! Thank you, but I did try to add more fields, seperated by a comma
and it did not work, do I need a separate filter for each field
I tried this:
if( $field["name"] == "custom_field_65,custom_field_64" )
Thanks again!
Please try this instead
if( in_array( $field["name"], array( "custom_field_65", "custom_field_64" ) ) )

(I am using the Custom Fields addon) The new Custom Fields are showing to Admin, but not in Display Ad page, I believe we are using single.php for Display Ad page, because I do not have single-advert.php in the templates’ folder, but information is not transferring from the form to the Listing. I removed the code above just to see if that was having an effect, and its not, I still can’t see the new custom fields.https://tbreds.net/advert/successful-slew-19/ https://www.screencast.com/t/fBWdFpbJXxsU
Using the Custom Fields extension is this field configured to show “anywhere” and does the Ad you linked to have a value for this field filled?

Yes, Display is set to Forms and Ad Display, and since I removed the code you helped me with to hide the fields in Forms, it is now showing in Listing Form, https://www.screencast.com/t/7OHiIVdZde but when we entered the data from the backend, it did not show up in Ad Listing (this listing had the data entered from backend, but does not display in Ad Listing, https://tbreds.net/advert/successful-slew-19/
I am not sure then, you seem to have it configured correctly, maybe there were some changes to the wpadverts/templates/single.php (or you are using a custom one) which does not have the “adverts_tpl_single_details” action responsible for displaying custom fields data?

We found it, there was a custom plugin controlling the final display, thanks for your assistance!!
