I have a weird issue, I am editing a WordPress with advanced custom fields, but I do not have permission to see the plugin, I do have, however, the 'acf.json' file,
is there a possibility I can use this file to create custom fields instead of using the plugin?
Many thanks,

I have an addition database table that was created manually not generated via Wordpress. I want to integrate this table into Wordpress so I can use within the dynamic fields options in Elementor.
Please can you advise the best way to to this?
I have found a plugin called metabox.io , but not sure how to do it via that either. I can see options to create custom tables via meta box, but not integrate manually tables.
Any suggestions appreciated.
the best way i can think of is to create a custom wordpress shortcode.
in the end you should have something like [custom_table id="1" column="db_column" condition=""], you will be able to use this shortcode in elementor dynamic fields.
i do not know about the plugin you mentioned. if you're not familiar with wordpress development you should hire a developer to do this for you.
I just exported 175 entries from one wordpress site to another, each with two Advanced Custom Fields custom image fields not realizing that they were not included by default.
I have not found an answer or plugin that would allow one complete migration.
I am looking for a solution, or even a method that might be easier than simply uploading all the acf images.
I have a joomla website in localhost.
I installed a template called Helix 2 which also has a set of Shortcodes. (i just put in something like [block]blah blah [/block] and my blah blah is highlighted in a nice looking box.)
I posted beautiful looking articles that way from BackEnd. Unfortunately, I have setup some users to be able to edit those articles from frontend. I have manually checked the Database and the shortcode is saved in the database. But when clicking edit in frontend, THAT DATABASE VERSION is not loaded in the edit field! When editing from frontend, the joomla engine DOESNOT load the database version of the article, but the version rendered from the browser or something else. The latter version doesn't have the shortcodes. So, after clicking save from Frontend the original article formatting is lost! I then have to manually reenter shortcodes in the frontend.
So the solution is, while clicking on edit button, if the article for editing is loaded from the database I can see my shortcodes in their proper places. So, is there a setting anywhere in joomla that can help me out with this?
PS: I HAVE TRIED ALL EDITORS TINYMCE, JCE, EDITOR-NONE WITH SAME RESULTS. ITS NOT THE EDITOR PROBLEM.
Which Joomla version are you using?
In Joomla 2.5 if you use a user from a different group, checkout the text filter options tab in the general settings. If you login as a super-admin and the setting for that group is "No filter", please try to change to "default blacklist" than save. Clear all joomla cache (just to be on the save site). Than change back to "No filter" option.
I have seen complaints on the joomla forum that the No Filter option while default set in some cases is not properely set. Resetting it to default blacklist and back to "No filter" might solve that problem.
What a simple solution and I had to spend so many sleepless nights surfing for a solution. In my site http://lokkatha.comthe problem was persisting for quite some time. However, with the help of the solution suggested by Wouter here, I could sort it out. the process is
Go to BACKEND ADMIN >> General configuration >> Text filters
Covert all filters to NO FILTERING The problem is solved.
Recently I have stumbled upon a situation in Joomla 3.1.1 where I need to add a custom field attached with default registration form.
I surfed the existing resources which say that I should navigate to
joomla_root/components/com_users/models/forms/registration.xml and then change the file accordingly.
I have done that but nothing is showing up. I also need to change registration.php in model and controller too. So, I need your inputs on how to do that. I can't use profile plugin or commercial extensions.
One more thing that I've noticed is the fact that changing registration.xml file and such things work perfectly fine in Joomla 2.5 but isn't working in 3.x.
Joomla ships with a user plugin called "profile" which may contain the fields you want to add already.
In the administrator go to extensions/plugins, filter by type and choose "user", then find the "Profile" and open it. Check out the options on the right handside, enable the plugin and voila.
Warning: most templates override the registration form and they usually don't fire the correct plugin events. If this is the case, your users will only see the "standard" fields in the registration. And if you set any fields as required in the plugin, they will not be registered, but redirected to the complete registration page (the user component), where they will find the fields they already filled in except for the passwords, which can be quite annoying.
If the "profile" fields are not sufficient, copy the profile plugin and build your own.
Do NOT modify the profile plugin or com_users files like you have done, this is Joomla core and will be overwritten when you next upgrade.
Eventually it turns out that the problem was a component called K2.I tried this custom registration stuff in joomla 2.5 and then suddenly thought how about disabling K2 System Plugin..It worked.
Im posting the steps to do so:
1.Navigate to joomla_root/components/com_users/models/forms/registration.xml and add a field there.
2.Then open up joomla_root/components/com_users/models/registration.php and then in the function register() change ur custom fields.
3.Don't forget to add a field in ur database table #_users which you have added in registration.xml
Depending on whether you needed the custom field to be added to the database or not, you could use a form building component such as RSForm!Pro or ChronoForms. They both can tie into the user registration system in Joomla and give you a lot of flexibility in custom emails, adding info to database tables, etc. This would insulate you from any core updates that could wipe out your modifications. I believe Chronoforms is free as long as you don't mind a link back to the developers in the form.
If you can't do that, I would make sure that I had a backup of the files that I modified handy before updating the site. Joomla 3.1.x is a short term build so you have a higher risk of those files getting changed than if you were working on a Joomla 2.5.x site.
I'm having major problems with this. Basically, I need to add a "url" field to the event management plugin with wordpress. My client wants to be able to add a url to their event so it can be clicked and viewed for more information on the event. I've looked through everything and im having problems understanding the wordpress file structure. I tried to add my own field to the event editor, database and front end but i dont know where wordpress posts the data to so i cant receive the variable. If i could get the variable, i could probably figure out how to use $wpdb relatively simply. but for that matter, i dont know where i should use that. where is the file that makes all those calls? i shouldnt have a problem getting the data from the database.
Edit
My problem, as described, was solved by installing another plugin called PODS. the only solution to adding functionality to a plugin, as in other fields, is to write your own plugin (as far as im aware). PODS solved my problem. It allowed me to add another field to the front of the event management form and saved it to the database. I still had to retrieve it from the database and display it on the front myself with php, but it was a much easier task than i expected it to be. If anybody wants to add extra fields to a plugin in wordpress, PODS is what i'd suggest. It's also free.
