How Can I See My Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) When Editing a Variant?

When you create a variant in Nelio A/B Testing, the content and custom fields of the original page, post, or custom post type—including Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) fields—are copied to the variant.

In most cases, ACF fields should therefore be available when you edit the variant.

What If an ACF Field Doesn’t Appear?

If an ACF field appears in the original content but not in its variant, check the Location Rules of its ACF Field Group.

ACF uses these rules to determine where a field group should appear. For example, a field group might only be displayed for:

• a specific page template;
• a category or taxonomy;
• a particular post type;
• a specific page; or
• another condition defined in ACF.

The variant must also satisfy the applicable Location Rules for the field group to appear.

How Do I Fix It?

Edit the variant again and check whether the ACF fields are now available.

Open the corresponding Field Group in ACF.

Check its Location Rules.

Make sure the variant satisfies the required conditions. For example, you may need to assign it the same page template, category, taxonomy, or other relevant property as the original content.
