Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)

How to use Whalesync's WordPress connector with ACF

Whalesync supports syncing Custom Post Types and Custom Fields with ACF.

Using ACF Custom Fields

To use ACF Custom Fields, you'll need to toggle the setting "show in REST API" on for each Field Group you want to use:

Image Fields

In order to sync an image into an ACF field, the ACF field needs to be of Text or URL. Whalesync will sync an image URL into the field when you upload an image on the other side of the sync (e.g. in an Airtable Attachment field). To display this correctly, your Wordpress template will need to retrieve the image as a URL, and not an image reference or array:

<img src="<?php the_field('my_acf_image_field_name'); ?>">
