Hello, I’m a newbie on WP and on website building…  
I added a custom field to the post via ACF. In Pinegrow, how do I include the custom field in the loop?  
Many thanks

Maybe you can have a look at our documentation here:

> **[Pinegrow WP and WordPress Custom Fields - Pinegrow Web Editor - Documentation...](http://docsbeta.pinegrow.com/pinegrow-wp-and-wordpress-custom-fields/)**
>
> Posts and pages in WordPress can have custom fields. Let's take a look at how we can use custom fields to choose which colors are used for displaying the content. We'll first do it with standard custom fields and then with Advanced custom fields...

Thank you, I will try to manage with those. What I try to do is more simpler, it’s something like “IF have\_comments” but for ACF, IF ACF then show content… Is it possible simple, or do I have to use taxonomy? Thanks

Hello earnoud, I try to study those two tutorials, but they are too complicated for my level yet…  
What I try to do is to display text that is in a ACF’s field \< information\_supplementaire \> I created.  
I add PHP Code \< the\_field(‘information\_supplementaire’) \>, hoping it would work.  
Do I need to add a loop to make it work? What is the good way of just displaying ACF fields with Pinegrow?  
Thank you in advance.
