Our team is testing out Events Espresso for 30 days to make sure it will meet our needs. I am trying to find an easy way to add custom fields to an event. I’ve created the custom fields in a field group via ACF, and the field group shows up in the event editor. I don’t see the info on the actual event page. Not sure what I’m missing. How do I add the fields to the page? The event is a training, and I am adding custom fields that each event page info should show (trainer name, training learning objectives, etc.) Is there a way to do this without coding? Our events team does not have a developer.

Hi there,
I’ve created the custom fields in a field group via ACF, and the field group shows up in the event editor. I don’t see the info on the actual event page. Not sure what I’m missing.
You not really missing anything here.
The fields showing in the event editor is happening because ACF is hooking into the editor and we run through the WordPress hooks in the admin to make sure they are added.
However, the output of posts (events in WordPress are still ‘posts’) is controlled by your theme and most don’t automatically output custom fields to the front end so its expected that you wouldn’t see those.
The event is a training, and I am adding custom fields that each event page info should show (trainer name, training learning objectives, etc.) Is there a way to do this without coding? Our events team does not have a developer.
Adding custom fields to the front-end output will require additional code somewhere along the way but we do have an example of adding custom fields using ACF here:

Does that help?
