Create a directory using Elementor, ACF & CPT UI

In this mini course we learn how to build a directory using Custom Post Type UI (CPT UI), Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), Elementor Custom Skin & Elementor Pro. We’ll first create a custom post type and taxonomy using CPT UI, followed by creating the custom fields required for our listings using ACF. We’ll then use a combination of Elementor and Elementor Custom Skin to create the design for our directory template files, so that it fits in perfectly with our existing website. The tutorial will cover: ✔︎ The difference between custom post types, taxonomies & custom fields ✔︎ How to create custom posts, taxonomies & custom fields ✔︎ Creating single post and archive templates ✔︎ Creating a loop template ✔︎ And much more!
