# How Each ACF Field Type Is Displayed

Easeful Themes for ACF displays every common Advanced Custom Fields field type on the front end, each in a way suited to its content, so a link is clickable, an image shows as an image and a list of choices shows as tags.

You can see all of them at once in the theme editor: go to ACF → Themes, open any theme and leave 'Preview with' on 'Sample content (every field type)'. The preview fills each field with placeholder content, in the theme you're looking at.

## How Each Field Type Appears

Text and numbers:

- 'Text', 'Number' and 'Range' — the value as plain text.
- 'Text Area' — the text, keeping its line breaks.
- 'Email' — a link that opens the visitor's email app.
- 'URL' — a link to the address, opening in a new tab.
- 'WYSIWYG Editor' — the formatted content, with its headings, lists and links.

Choices:

- 'Select', 'Checkbox', 'Radio Button' and 'Button Group' — one tag per chosen option.
- 'True / False' — a 'Yes' or 'No' badge.

Dates and colors:

- 'Date Picker', 'Date Time Picker' and 'Time Picker' — the date or time in the 'Return Format' set on the field in ACF, so change the format there to change it on the front end.
- 'Color Picker' — a round swatch of the color next to its code.

Media:

- 'Image' — the image at WordPress's medium size, with its alt text.
- 'Gallery' — a grid of square thumbnails.
- 'File' — a download link showing the file name.
- 'oEmbed' — the embedded video, post or other content. Embeds that need the provider's own script, like posts from X or Instagram, show as a quote with a link to the original.

Links and relationships:

- 'Link' — a link with its own title, opening in a new tab when that option is ticked on the link.
- 'Post Object', 'Relationship' and 'Page Link' — one tag per post or page, linking to it.
- 'Taxonomy' — one tag per term, linking to its archive page.
- 'User' — each user's avatar and name.

Layout fields:

- 'Group' — its sub fields one under the other, each with its own label.
- 'Repeater' — one row per entry, each listing its sub fields.
- 'Flexible Content' — one row per layout, each listing that layout's sub fields.

Sub fields inside a group, repeater or flexible content field are displayed with the same rules as top-level fields, but always at full width; only top-level fields have a width setting in the Design tab. Repeater, Flexible Content and Gallery fields are part of ACF PRO.

## What Isn't Displayed

- 'Password' fields are never shown on the front end, whatever their value.
- A field with no value on a post is skipped, along with its label and card, so empty fields never leave gaps.
- Fields that hold no value of their own, such as 'Message', 'Tab' and 'Accordion', don't appear.

Field types not listed above, including ones added by other plugins, still appear: Easeful Themes for ACF shows their value as text when it can, such as a Google Map field's address. To give one of them a proper design, a developer can override the fallback template and handle that field type there, as explained in the article on customizing the markup.
