Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a YouTube video showing at the top of every page. I need to be able to change the videos on certain pages so have created a custom field where the URL can be entered. But I just can't get it to work on the page. I've created a theme so need to code it into that.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I've followed various instructions on the wp-types forum and docs

Is there a similar example that we can see?
You can see what's displayed on the pages.

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - URL field is used to input URL and it will display the URL.

If you would like display video - you can use the Types field type:

1) Embedded media

OR

2) Video:

Does above field help to display the video?

Hi Minesh

Thanks for your advice. No, I'm afraid changing the field type to either Embedded Media or Video makes no difference.

Am I right that this syntax should be used in the theme?

echo(types_render_field( 'youtube-video' ));

Cheers

Jon

Yes - that's correct, for custom post fields you can use echo types_render_field('field-name');
