Advanced Custom Fields

With ACF (free or Pro) active, Range Trust registers a Range Trust Widget field type: a dropdown of your saved widgets. It gives editors control over which review widget appears on a page without touching shortcodes.

The field type

Add a field, set its type to Range Trust Widget (under Relational), and choose the Return format:

• Widget ID: get_field() returns the numeric id (default).
• Rendered widget HTML: get_field() returns the ready-to-print markup.

In templates

With the Widget ID format:

$widget_id = get_field( 'testimonials_widget' );
if ( $widget_id ) {
	range_trust( (int) $widget_id );
}

With the Rendered widget HTML format:

echo get_field( 'testimonials_widget' ); // already-escaped widget markup

Combining with overrides (ID format only):

range_trust( (int) get_field( 'testimonials_widget' ), array( 'layout' => 'grid' ) );

Shortcodes in ACF fields

The usual WordPress rule applies: text fields don't run shortcodes unless you ask.

echo do_shortcode( get_field( 'free_text_area' ) );

Data for flexible layouts

For ACF-driven designs that need raw numbers rather than a whole widget, say a stat in a hero block, use the template tags:

$agg = range_trust_rating();
printf( 'Rated %.1f from %d reviews', $agg['rating'], $agg['count'] );
