    Hi,

    Can this integrate with custom fields, using other plugins like Advanced Custom Fields and Toolset? So if I have a custom post type called "Restaurants" and have some fields like size, type of food, location, etc. I could output those on a template into a table for each cpt.

    Hi Tim

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    You would need to create a custom query that'd return the data you need. Using our query constructor pulls the data from WordPress database, but ACFs data can also be stored in the MySQL database, so try using that generator.

    We cannot help you with the custom query, though, as included support doesn't cover custom queries, and we don't have native integration with ACF, so you'd need to locate the data you need in the database, and then pull it using that custom query.

    Do let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

    Thanks, I basically just need to know I could do this without knowing code or being a developer myself. Is this something I could do myself, with your documentation?

    Hello Tim 

    As Blazenka mentioned, using our query constructors, you're off to a good start, however the constructor is not an ultimate builder, so it often makes mistakes.

    You will eventually need to play around with the queries that it came up with, so they work correctly, so if you don't have at least basic knowledge about MySQL, you may get lost in it. We do not provide support for writing custom SQL queries.

    Kind Regards,
