I am working on a client site which was customized using ACF. I would like to knwo if I can still use Toolset and views to build custom loops and templates. The site is a magazine/blog and will not use blocks, just old plain wordpress. Can I do it?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Here is the detailed Doc how you can use Toolset with ACF:

Can you please follow the above doc and try to resolve your issue.

I did not say I wanted to migrate from ACF to Toolset. I asked if I can use toolset to create views/layouts using ACF fields. No migration whatsoever.

It depends what type of field you want to display as ACF stores different field types in different format than Toolset Types.

Normally - to display the ACF field to content template or View you create - you can use the ACF shortcode:

[acf field="field_name"]

If you search on google or on our forum you will get few related tickets that might help you to understand how it works for different field types of ACF:
