ACF Pro & Custom Post Type

[kevrossignon]

Hi All- I am working on starting a new company that does aircraft sales (think real estate, but aircraft rather than properties). I have a page where I will advertise aircraft for sale. I installed the ACF plugin in Pro and created a new post type called aircraft. I am trying to create a page to showcase all the aircraft we have for sale or wanting (I wanted vs listing based on tag or taxonomy). Here is a pic of an example of what I am trying to achieve.

After they click on it, they go to the actual listing which could look something like below.

Your help and guidance would be greatly appreciate.

Thx.

Hey @kevrossignon,

Thanks for reaching out!

In creating showcase page, you need to use the archive layout builder to build the content. Also, in showing the full description of your product, you need to use the single layout builder. Here’s a quick overview.

You can also watch on how to create an archive layout.

Thank you. This is exactly the information that I was looking for to put me on the right track. I have viewed the videos and going to put that in practice. While trying to do so, I went into the site, create an Archive Layout, but after clicking it, I see my landing page. Why is that?

Hey @kevrossignon,

Please make sure that you set your builder preview to your post type.

Hope that helps.

Thank you @marc_a. My post type is currently set to that. However, this is a custom post type named aircraft. Would that make a difference? If so, I do not see Aircraft being an option anywhere.

Thank you again for all your help.

Hello @kevrossignon,

Your Aircraft custom post type does not have an archive. You may have disabled it when creating the post type in ACF. Please edit your post type, see the link in the secure note below, and then make sure that the “Archive” option is enabled.

Kindly let us know how it goes.
