Creating a drop down menu with custom links

Custom fields are a native part of WordPress and appear on pages, posts and custom post types, however, the native custom field interface is not very user friendly.

Install the ACF plugin

Custom fields are a native part of WordPress and appear on pages, posts and custom post types, however, the native custom field interface is not very user friendly. With ACF installed, you can tailor what fields to show and what they look like. For instance, you may require a ‘Hero Image’ to be selected for your home page. You can use ACF to easily create this Image field and show it when editing the home page! Here is the difference between native custom fields and Advanced Custom Fields.

<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

<?php if ( get_field('sub_heading' ) ): ?>
    <h2><?php echo esc_html( get_field('sub_heading') ); ?></h2>
<?php endif; ?>

<div class="hero">
    <?php $image = get_field('hero_image'); ?>
    <img src="<?php echo esc_url( $image['url'] ); ?>" alt="<?php echo esc_attr( $image['alt'] ); ?>" />
</div>

<?php if( have_rows('event') ): ?>
    <ul>
    <?php while( have_rows('event') ): the_row(); ?>
        <li>
            <a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_sub_field( 'url' ) ); ?>"><?php echo esc_html( get_sub_field( 'title' ) ); ?></a>
        </li>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    </ul>
<?php endif; ?>

Field groups are used to organize fields and attach them to edit screens. Each field group contains a title, fields, location rules and visual settings. To get started with your first field group, please read our Creating a Field Group guide.
