I recently upgraded to the Pro version to take advantage of the WP Posts Builder. When I create a table using the WP Posts Builder, it will automatically include table columns with data pulled from the basic WordPress post fields, but it will not pull any data or create columns from fields created by Advanced Custom Fields. Do you have any ideas about how I can do this?
I am also wondering if this might be due to an ACF issue where I need to enable a setting to make ACF data discoverable by other plugins.
At the moment, the functionality to load actual ACF fields and their values into table columns is not yet available. However, the developers have identified what needs to be added to make this work and are actively improving our WP Post Builder integration to support this solution.
The update should be completed very soon, but we cannot provide an exact ETA. We recommend keeping an eye on our changeLog page( it is also available in the plugin dashboard) for updates. Once the feature is added, it will be announced in a patch note.
to stay informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, and more.
For now, you can access ACF fields using custom SQL Query-based tables until this built-in option is introduced.
Please note: Using this plugin feature requires at least a basic knowledge of SQL. It is assumed that you can create the table in some MySQL data manager (e.g., PHPMyAdmin, MySQL Workbench), and prepare a SQL query that will return the data you need. If you do not know how to use MySQL, refer to the “Create a MySQL-query-based table by generating a query to MySQL database” section. It will explain how to create complete tables or MySQL queries without this basic knowledge. Please be advised that preparing MySQL queries for you is not included in the plugin support.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out to us.
Thank you, and thanks to the TMS team for looking into this. Yes, you are correct, I was interested in having it loaded into the actual table in the "Column list." I'm impressed by how the team is constantly developing this plugin and I look forward to future developments! I'll keep an eye on the changelog.

Hi Jonathan,
I am not 100% sure about this use-case, we will ask our developers for advice.
As soon as they advise, I will report back.
Thank you for your patience.
