Are your themes compatible with the Advanced Custom Fields Pro plugin?
When I have ACF PRO plugin installed and activated, a lot of the functions in the dashboard of a new post become unusable. (see attached screenshot)
For example, when trying to add a new podcast episode I'm no longer able to upload an audio file.
When I deactivate ACF Pro, the dashboard look and functionality return to normal, where everything seems to be working fine again.
I'm using the Padcastr theme.
It looks like a version of advanced custom fields is pre-installed on the theme, however, it has limited capabilities. For example, it doesn't give me the ability to add new custom post types (which is what I would like to do).
I'd like to be able to use ACF Pro with the theme. Is that possible?
Though what I would like to be able to do is make my custom post types.
I would normally do that with ACF Pro. But i'm not given the option to do so using the custom fields that is bundled with your theme.
It looks like I can only add new Field Groups. It doesn't allow the creation of a new custom post type (or at least I'm not seeing the option if it exists)
Could I use a plugin like "pods" to create custom post type (then populate the fields using custom fields)? Would that work with the theme? Or do I need to create a custom post type manually by editing code?

Hi,
ACF PRO is built-in into our theme, so please deactivate ACF standalone plugin, and you will get access to acf again.

Ok. I can deactivate ACF Pro plugin.
Though what I would like to be able to do is make my custom post types.

Hi Mike,
This is because the abiity to create CPT in ACF is a new feature introduced in ACF 6. The theme currently include ACF 5.9.5.
Could you please provide me access to your FTP, and I will update to ACF 6 and see how it goes.
Thanks,
