Quick start

1. Create a field group#

In the admin, go to Custom Fields → Add New. Give the group a title and add a couple of fields, for example a text field named hero_title and an image field named hero_image. Under Location, add the rule Post type = Page so the group shows up on pages.

2. Fill in the fields#

Open a page and edit it. The fields you just defined appear as a metabox below the editor. Fill them in and update the page.

3. Print values in your template#

<h1><?php echo esc_html( ultivo_field( 'hero_title' ) ); ?></h1>

<?php $image = ultivo_field( 'hero_image' ); ?>
<img src="<?php echo esc_url( $image['url'] ); ?>" alt="<?php echo esc_attr( $image['alt'] ); ?>">

A third argument is the value to fall back on when the field is empty:

<h1><?php echo esc_html( ultivo_field( 'hero_title', false, 'Welcome' ) ); ?></h1>

Coming from ACF, ultivo_get_field() does the same thing under the name you already know. See Classic functions.

Next steps#

• Builder basics: everything the field group builder can do
• Template API: the ultivo_field() / ultivo_rows() syntax used above, including loops
• Classic functions: the full ultivo_get_field() family, for projects moving across from ACF
