 * Hi,
 * Great plugin. Everything is working as it should, except the file upload – On
   the front end it works fine, but in the created Custom Post type I can see all
   of the other data but the uploaded file is not there, just a file upload button.
   Is there a way to have the uploaded file appear in the CPT?
 * Thanks

 * Hi!
 * Because of the way ACF works file uploads can be a bit quirky sometimes but there
   are ways to make it work.
 * I’m guessing you are using the regular ACF “File” field? If so, could you try
   setting the `uploader` argument in AF to `"basic"`? You can find some documentation
   here[here](https://advancedforms.github.io/guides/basic/displaying-a-form/).
 * Thanks for creating a ticket!
