Hi Stephen
ACF saves the values as meta data usually, so the data source should be post_meta or user_meta depending on what you need.
For example, this will show the ACF value for the current post: [vg_display_data key="acf_field_key" data_source="post_meta"]
Hi Jose
Thank you so much for help.
Unfortunately I have not had success with user_meta or post meta.
I read on the ACF website and it states the following :
“In ACF 5, there are two post types “acf-field-group” and “acf-field”. the acf-field post type are child posts of the acf-field-group post type. First you need to find the parent group ID and then search for acf-field posts with that parent id. The group and field information are both saved in the post table post_content column as serialized arrays, again, be careful editing this.”
Could this be part of the problem?

Stephen
Hi
I have managed to sort this out. I was using the incorrect ACF Field Key . The source is user_meta
Thank you for the prompt support. Really appreciated

Hi! This seems to work well, thanks for this question & answer!
However, this shows the data of current user. Is it possible to show for example acf_field_key of post author (instead of currently logged in user) in the post itself, dynamically?
Nvm, got it working with Posts Snippets plugin, by making custom short code that gets the data from post author.
