Tell us what you are trying to do? Create a custom display of existing content that resides in ACF (advanced custom fields) OR even toolset created fields. In either case, creating a grid layout with dynamic content selected, the fields seem to revert to "other" when I save, and no dynamic content shows - even though I have created two new custom posts with that content, and there are 315 that use the ACF fields. Neither show up.

Is there any documentation that you are following? Toolset documentation - and I've built in toolset before.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

This is (sort of) what I need to recreate on the user end. For the client, she needs a better interface to enter the data in, so I moved from ACF and (another developer's) custom template to Toolset so I can have more control over this.

Hello, if I understand correctly it sounds like you are experiencing at least two problems:
1. You are trying to set up a template that displays dynamic data from custom fields, but the dynamic data does not appear on the front-end of the site as expected.
2. When saving posts in wp-admin, sometimes custom field values are not updated correctly, reverting to some other value than what you chose before saving the post.

Have I understood this correctly? If so, please provide a login in the private reply fields here so I can take a look in your wp-admin area and see how the posts, fields and templates are set up. Let me know where I can find the post you are trying to edit in wp-admin, let me know which custom field values are not saving correctly upon saving the post, and also let me know where I can find the template you are trying to set up for displaying this content on the front-end of the site. I'll review your setup and give you some feedback.

A few more details:

The page in question that I'm working with is here: hidden link (the upcoming events should show below this area but they are not)

I turned ACF back on in case the fields were needed
The custom post types we're working with that we built in Toolset now are located under "Meridian Concerts" on the dashboard bar underneath Comments.
There are two filled in with the NEW Toolset fields (as opposed to the ACF fields), and those are Tyler Braden and Big & Rich (see screenshot). The others are coming over from the ACF fields I think, and as such don't have the field data populated.

I could maybe use the ACF fields - last time I built with Toolset, we used CPT fields and that worked fine. But neither show up.

Hi, when I try to log in using these credentials I am shown the following error message:
"Login not possible"
Is there another security system in place that could be preventing me from logging in for some reason? Or is the User account not fully active for some reason?

Updated credentials!

[Christian Cox]

Sorry but I'm still seeing the same error message. I copy + pasted from the private reply fields you shared earlier - did you update those, or did you mean you updated in wp-admin? I'll activate private reply fields so you can share updated credentials if necessary.

I'm closing here. The client states she is unable to comment further in this ticket. We will continue our discussion in a new ticket: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/possible-conflict-between-exisitng-acf-fields-and-toolset-fields-this-dynamic-2/
