WonderPlugin Slider, WonderPlugin Carousel

Question:

I've created an image slider using custom posts, and I wondered if there was a way to replace the post excerpt with a custom field? I'm using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, as well as OpenHook if that might be needed. I'm seeing that %post_excerpt% is accepted in the description; is there something similar I can do to include custom fields I've created?

Answer:

In WonderPlugin Slider, the "Add WooCommerce / Custom Posts" dialog, "Field for Title" and "Field for Description", you could enter your own custom fields and display them.

For example, if you have a custom post type "Movie", and you have created three custom fields for the post type:

Field Title: Director
Field Type: text
Field Slug: director

Field Title: Year
Field Type: text
Field Slug: year

Field Title: IMDB URL
Field Type: text
Field Slug: imdb-url

In the "Field for Description", you could enter the custom field slug (make sure it's the field slug, not the field title) wrapped with % %. For example:

This movie was directed by %director% and released in %year%. Please view <a href="%imdb-url%" target="_blank">IMDB</a> for more information. 

In the above code, the custom field slugs %director%, %year%, %imdb-url% will be replaced with the value of the item when the slider is published.
