How to get certian fields to display on post types

[EdmontonConstruction]

Hey team,

I was using this archived content to help me get the custom fields to show with advanced custom fields but nothing is showing up.

I believe I’m using integrity and placing the new php code in the child theme but two questions:

1. How does wordpress know to pull that new info from the child theme?
2. Where in the child theme php file do I place the code that was generated from the advanced custom field plugin?

Please don’t reference these two articles:

• https://theme.co/docs/child-themes
• https://theme.co/docs/best-practices#overwriting-output-via-child-themes

as I have walked through them twice.

Just looking where to place the new php code in X – Child Theme: wp-single.php (framework/views/integrity/wp-single.php) php code so the fields appear.

Attached is the file I’m referring to.

Here is the test post as well: https://www.ownersforum.ca/this-is-a-test-group/

Cheers

Hi Jonny,

You are editing the correct file for single post type on a child theme.

Though you do have errors on your custom code.
First, php code should be using correct syntax:

  <?php function nameofyourfunction(){
 //  process here. Make sure the correct open and close bracket are added on the function.

} ?>

Correct syntax is important. Then if you have caching please make sure to clear cache. If you are not familiar with coding, it would be best to consult a web developer. Thank you for understanding.

Hey Lely,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I am familiar with coding just new to using the themeco dashboard.

The first photo is the default code from themeco. Just wondering where inside do I add the new php code?

Hello Jonny,

Thanks for writing in!

You will have to add your custom functions in your child theme’s functions.php file. For example;

<?php

// =============================================================================
// FUNCTIONS.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Overwrite or add your own custom functions to X in this file.
// =============================================================================

// =============================================================================
// TABLE OF CONTENTS
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//   01. Enqueue Parent Stylesheet
//   02. Additional Functions
// =============================================================================

// Enqueue Parent Stylesheet
// =============================================================================

add_filter( 'x_enqueue_parent_stylesheet', '__return_true' );



// Additional Functions
// =============================================================================

// Custom Function
function nameofyourfunction(){
 //  process here. Make sure the correct open and close bracket are added on the function.

}

And then you call your custom function in the template file like the wp-single.php file

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/INTEGRITY/WP-SINGLE.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Single post output for Integrity.
// =============================================================================

$fullwidth = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_x_post_layout', true );

get_header();

?>

  <div class="x-container max width offset">
    <div class="<?php x_main_content_class(); ?>" role="main">

      <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
        <?php x_get_view( 'integrity', 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
        <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_comments-template' ); ?>
      <?php endwhile; ?>

      <?php nameofyourfunction(); ?>

    </div>

    <?php if ( $fullwidth != 'on' ) : ?>
      <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

  </div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

These codes were all just examples used for explaining where you can place the custom codes. We would love to know if this has worked for you.

Thank you.
