There are six specific custom field types that you may need to set up, depending on which compatible Thrive Architect<\/a> element you want to use them with. These custom field types are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. \u201cText\u201d field<\/span> <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. \u201cURL\u201d field<\/span> <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. \u201cImage\u201d field<\/span> <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. \u201cNumber\u201c field<\/span> <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. \u201cFile\u201d field<\/span> <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. \u201cDate Time Picker\u201d field<\/span> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Before being able to use custom fields, when editing your pages\/post with Thrive Architect, you will need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2192<\/b> Add these types of custom fields<\/b> to the \u201cField Group\u201d you have created, in your \u201cAdvanced Custom Fields\u201d (ACF) dashboard (if you require detailed information on how to create the \u201cField Group\u201d, take a look at this step-by-step guide here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2192<\/b> Assign value for the custom field types<\/b> in the WordPress editor for each post\/page you will want to use them on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We will take each one from the above-mentioned custom field types and detail these two steps for them, in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
