Page attributes won’t show up in Post Types

Hello Damian!

Thanks for using ACF Extended, I’m glad you enjoy it 🙂

Concerning Post Types – Page Attributes. I just tested it and it works as expected. To make sure everything is correctly setup can you please check the following things:

• When you’re editing a post of your post type, check the “screen options” tab on the right, and see if there is a “Post attributes” there
• If you don’t have page templates defined in your theme, page attributes will simply show an “Order” metabox in the sidebar
• If you’re developing your own theme, make you that you correctly created the style.css and index.php files (page attributes are kinda tied to theme)

Let me know if that worked!

Regards.

Hello,

If you’re talking about the “parent page” dropdown, you need to first publish a post, then for the second post you’ll able to choose a parent.

If you’re talking about the “page template” dropdown, you need to correctly define the PHP comment for your post type in the page-template.php

Here is an example: (Documentation)

<?php

/*
Template Name: My template
Template Post Type: post, page, my-post-type
*/

Then, the page template dropdown will be displayed in your post type 🙂

Yeah, that could be a feature to add to ACF Extended. An UI to manage all page templates and define them on the post type you want. I still need to think about how it would work.

About your problem on the “Post Type == All” location rule. There was a bug that prevented the field group to actually show on all post types.

I just pushed a new update: 0.6.7.2 hotfix. Update the plugin, and it should now work correctly 🙂

For your information: you don’t need to set the “OR Page Template == Default Template”, because the “Post Type == All” rule already match All posts for all post types.

Thanks for the report!

Regards.

I can’t seem to reproduce your problem :\

Just to make sure we’re doing the same thing, are you sure you use the OR? Because it doesn’t seem to make sense, as “post type == all” already match all your posts.

My test rule:

Post type == All
AND
Page Template != My Template

Here is my-template.php definition:

/*
Template Name: My template
Template Post Type: post, page, my-post-type
*/

One post of the post type my-post-type has the template My template.

What we want to achieve: Render a field group on all posts for all post types, except when the post has the template = My template right?
