ACF vs CPT (Custom Post Type)

Posted in: Newspaper

Please can i have confirm that “Advanced Custom Fields” https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/ can be fully compatible with theme to build a Custom Post Type?

Or it’s better to use your CPT (http://cdn.tagdiv.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/td-custom-post-type.zip).

What is the difference to use?

Really thanks.

Hello Andrea,

We have not tested the ACF plugin officially so I cannot make an official statement on whether it works or not. Unofficially people have been using ACF with our theme without issues. In creating a CPT, the best way is to create it through coding but there are other alternatives if you do not have the proper coding skills. Here is an example: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-custom-post-types-in-wordpress/
The example you mention (td-custom-post-type) is a pre-made cpt called ‘book’

Thank you!
