Hi Kor,
The plugin is Advanced Custom Fields Pro, Version 5.1.3 | By elliot condon .
Our goal is to manage the default global footer under WordPress>Customize with everything else.
According to developer there’s a conflict specifically with GeoDirectory that won’t let us add Custom Fields to footer and instead that content has to be housed within the HOME page.
I just texted him and here’s exactly what he said …
The issue with GD and ACF has to do with the options page you can create with ACF. For some odd reason, the fields in the general ACF options page do not pull on GD pages. It has nothing to do with the customizer. We can’t use ACF fields in the customizer, but ACF has an options page that you can put custom fields on.
Thx so much for your help Kor!
