Note: Restrict visibility of an ACF Card by using user-with-roles="ROLE1,ROLE2" user-without-roles="ROLE1,ROLE2" shortcode arguments.
Note: Do you want to customize a query (WP_Query) that is used to get posts for a Card, but the option is missing in the UI? You can do this using our filters. Read more here
