Very good explanation and very efficient, only showing fast-forward where it makes sense. I've seen a bunch of these Elementor with custom post types/fields tutorials but no one seems to have done one with an image gallery. ACF has a free gallery-field addon and I've been able to create custom post types and fields.
The gallery-field works, it's really easy to bulk upload a bunch of images and they all show nicely in the post-back-end just like you would expect. However, I can't seem to figure out how to get that gallery field to show up in an Elementor template. I'm able to drill down to the particular ACF gallery field and enter the proper Key, but I just can't get it to work. Man, I would really appreciate a follow-up video that shows how to add a dynamic image gallery in Elementor using whatever plugins you think can handle the task, cheers!

Great...thanks for sharing. I literally worked on a similar project day prior and was stuck trying to figure out how to display my toolset taxonomies on the single page template. It was quite a struggle to pull off in Elementor, so I had to create the taxonomy in toolset views and then used shortcodes to pull same into the Elementor page template. The downside of that was that I had little control over the styling of that section via Elementor and had to use microthemer to style. Had I seen this tut before, it would have been much easier and straightforward, using queries to display the taxonomies and filter out duplicates and same page for the favorites panel on the sidebar. Knowledge is power indeed!

Do i need to purchase toolset in order for this to display on my front end site? Because i have 2 errors that are popping up on the template and archive which are saying -The Movies archive of your theme is missing custom fields- and -Your theme-s template file for displaying Movie items is missing custom fields-. Do i need to purchase the toolset plugin in order to display this on the homepage because everytime i go to Visit the movie archive it will pop up my page with a 404 page title will appear but the movies i have imported in are showing right under the title 404 page.

Really basic tutorial. You miss important implementions like live search and filter by tags and category. Which is pretty hard as none of these seems to work correctly. FacetWP is nice but it template doesn't wrap around any elementor element. Other ones simply doesn't work at all.
Also for some reason none of plugins and extensions seems to work with displaying gallery dynamically on post template custom fields.
Those are just few of crucial implementions, and when they don't work everything else is insignificant.

I need CUSTOM SEARCH FUNCTION on my real estate listing website! I am using a setup with ACF and custom post types UI and wp-frontend but only thing i am missing is the possibility to have a good custom search bar with function for my custom post type :( :( I have to use toolset i guess because only 2 plugins offer this it seems . But then i have to change the entire setup thats already made with ACF etc. OMG

Great tutorial! I'm new to Wordpress and Elementor pro. But you didn't mentioned that we actually have to buy the toolset plugin for $69.00. I followed every step you made but apparently just installing the toolset types plugin is not enough so unfortunately it didn't work for me. I hope you'll redo this tutorial with a free plugin. But still i've learned a lot through this tutorial. Thanks for that.

That was an amazing tutorial. While I have used Elementor (free version) before, I never knew it could do that much. Then again, it's all possible thanks to the Tooltip plugin. There are so many types of websites that could be created using those techniques. Makes it a lot easier to input data instead of having to manually style it for each page/post.

I see you have -Celebs- in the top navigation. Is it possible to have a CPT of Celebs that links celebs to movies and movies to celebs and display those relationships on the movie single template? It's common to see a link of celebs who are in a movie on that movie's page.

Thanks for this tut mate... i do have a question though. Is there any advantage in creating new custom post type (Movies) as against just extending the custom fields for pages/post and creating a new custom taxonomy (Movies) for which these custom fields will show? Thanks
