Summary: Working with Custom Post Types & Advanced Custom Fields in Elementor Pro

Introduction

• The tutorial, led by Ferdy, explains how to use Custom Post Types (CPT) and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) with Elementor Pro to create dynamic, structured content beyond default WordPress posts and pages (e.g., portfolios, team members, tutorials).

Key Concepts Covered

1. Custom Post Types (CPT)

   • WordPress defaults to "Posts" and "Pages," but CPTs allow tailored content structures (e.g., "Tutorials").
   • Created via the ACF plugin (e.g., "Tutorials" with categories/tags like "WordPress," "Plugins").

2. Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)

   • Adds extra fields to CPTs (e.g., YouTube URL, duration, timestamps for tutorials).
   • Fields are linked to CPTs (e.g., "Tutorials" post type gets a "YouTube URL" field).

3. Elementor Pro Integration

   • Design templates for CPTs using Elementor’s Theme Builder (e.g., single tutorial layout with video, title, featured tools).
   • Dynamic content: Pull ACF fields (e.g., YouTube URL) into Elementor templates.

4. Cross-Referencing Content

   • Created a second CPT ("Recommended Tools") and linked it to "Tutorials" via ACF relationship fields.
   • Example: A tutorial about WordPress can display related tools (e.g., Elementor, Canva) dynamically.

5. Display Conditions & Styling

   • Used Elementor’s display conditions to show/hide elements (e.g., ads for specific tutorials).
   • Styled templates responsively (e.g., adjusted columns for mobile/tablet).

6. Additional Tools

   • Advanced Queries Plugin: Filtered related posts dynamically (e.g., only show tools linked via ACF).
   • Loop Builder: Designed reusable templates (e.g., featured tools grid).

Final Output

• A Tutorials archive page (similar to a blog layout).
• Single tutorial pages with:
  • Embedded YouTube videos (via ACF).
  • Timestamps, duration, featured tools.
  • Consistent styling using Elementor (headers, spacing, colors).

Key Takeaways

• Flexibility: CPTs + ACF + Elementor Pro enable highly customized content structures.
• Dynamic Design: Templates auto-populate with ACF data (e.g., videos, related posts).
• Efficiency: Tools like loop builders and display conditions streamline workflows.

This approach is ideal for portfolios, directories, or any content needing structured, visually rich layouts.
