Advanced Custom Fields: Archive Templates
ACF Archives is a little plugin for helping you attach ACF fields to the archive template.
The plugin will add a submenu for each public custom post type with archive defined
and then you can select under ACF rules box.
Want to add or remove the submenu for other custom post types?
Here is a code example you can add to to your theme functions.php
add_filter( 'acf_archive_post_types', 'change_acf_archive_cpt' );
function change_acf_archive_cpt( $cpts ) {
// 'book' and 'movie' are the cpt key.
// Remove cpt
unset( $cpts['book'] );
// Add cpt
$cpts['movie'] = Movies Archive;
return $cpts;
}
Get the acf field on archive page
$object = get_queried_object();
$field = get_field( 'field_name', $object->name );
var_dump( $field );
