I'm trying to include a few custom fields I've created in my functions.php file so they're native to the theme I'm working on. However they're not showing up on the edit screens of the posts I've set them to.
I've included the acf plugin in my theme by using this code in my functions.php: include_once('advanced-custom-fields/acf.php');
I also exported the fields to php and copy and pasted the code in the functions.php of my theme. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Below is my exported code
define( 'ACF_LITE', true );
include_once('/advanced-custom-fields/acf.php');

Thanks for posting your code that helped a lot.
the code is correct, the only possible error is with including the acf.php
if you have access to the FTP, put "advanced-custom-fields" folder next to the functions.php file. (in the same directory)
now in functions.php (the code you posted above) find this line:
include_once('/advanced-custom-fields/acf.php');
replace it with this:
include_once('advanced-custom-fields/acf.php');
let me know if that doesn't work.
Thanks
