 * Hi
    I have two questions: **Question 1:** I have bought the pro version and I
   am trying to get my head around **Creating a post**. I have three Post templates
   created by Elementor that on selection of category load custom layouts including
   ACF fields embedded with your plugin. I also created a custom Archive page with
   Elementor and added the Create Post button. But some of the Post options with
   ACF Frontend widget don’t display as they do in your video. Is this is because
   it will only work with the default WordPress Post type?
 * **Question 2 – important**
    I’m using a third party Google maps plug-in (WP Google
   Map Pro) which displays it’s fields under the advanced panels in the back end
   of the Post. It includes basic settings for lat long, adding a marker and selecting
   a published Map. Once I figure out the Create Post problem, can these fields 
   be available when creating a post on the front end?
 * Thanks for your time

 * Hello,
    Regarding your first question, my plugin supports custom post types, 
   so that’s not why it’s not working. Are you using a elementor pop-up template
   to show the form? That could be the issue.
 * As for your second question, if the fields save as post meta data and you know
   how to find the meta name, then you be able to create ACF fields that correspond
   to these fields and add them to the form

 * Hi Shabti
    And thanks for your reply The field selection in the widget aren’t
   appearing for me as they in your video, which I suspect because it is dated. 
   There is also an issue where when trying to crate a Post, I can’t add a form 
   without at least one ACF field present. All I’m am trying to do is create a post
   with a title, content, and category applied. The pre-defined Post **category**(
   1 of 3) then loads the Post template designed in Elementor. Those templates forms
   ready to go.
 * Do you have up-to-date documentation for this widget? I can’t seem to find it
   on your site
    Do you have any tips on how to find the meta names for fields contained
   in another plug in? Do you have tips on styling the forms?

 * Hello there! You are right about my videos, they are of date, I am working on
   making updated videos as well written documentation very soon.
 * To get the all meta names on the bottom of a post, use this code (for staging
   purposes only):
 *     ```
       add_action('wp_footer', function(){
       $post_id = get_the_ID();
   
       $myvals = get_post_meta($post_id);
   
       foreach($myvals as $key => $val)
       {
           echo $key . ' : ' . $val[0] . '<br/>';
       }
       });
       ```
   
 * We just added styling options to the pro version. You have the pro version, don’t
   you?
    We added styles for the form title and the various buttons, but there is
   more on the way

 * oohhhhhh, I thought it was great!
 * We wrote to WPTuts a while ago saying that it would be great if they made a tutorial
   on how to edit forms from the frontend and I indicated this wonderful plugin.
 * I can’t believe it …….. it’s fantastic !!
