    Paste the shortcode in your page, post or theme section.

    Visit the page to see the result.
Note: Adding new fields to your assigned ACF View will automatically include those fields in your ACF Card without you having to copy the shortcode into place again.
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​
