Then select Location Rules Post Type> is equal to> Product and save. After save the field group you can check these fields just go to Products>Add New.

Just go to WCFM Dashboard>Settings>Product Custom Field. And type Block Name and add your fields, but you should use the same fields name as used by ACF plugin.
Example: ACF Field name is “preview_pdf” and we have used these filed names on WCFM product custom filed.
☞ How to Show “Read Demo Book” & Book Information on single product page
To showing these ACF fields we need to add some code on our functions.php (child theme) file or using Code Snippets plugin.
//Action hook to showing all ACF fields on Before Add To Card Button.add_action('woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_form','book_info_single_product');function book_info_single_product() {?><!--To Add Book Information Field "Author, Edition, Language, Publisher"--><ul class="book_infolist"> <?php if ( $book_author = get_field( 'book_author' ) ) : ?> <li><b>Author: </b><?php echo esc_html( $book_author ); ?></li> <?php endif; ?> <?php if ( $book_edition = get_field( 'book_edition' ) ) : ?> <li><b>Edition: </b><?php echo esc_html( $book_edition ); ?></li> <?php endif; ?> <?php if ( $book_language = get_field( 'book_language' ) ) : ?> <li><b>Language: </b><?php echo esc_html( $book_language ); ?></li> <?php endif; ?> <?php if ( $book_publisher = get_field( 'book_publisher' ) ) : ?> <li><b>Publisher: </b><?php echo esc_html( $book_publisher ); ?></li> <?php endif; ?> </ul> <!-- To Add Read Demo Book Feature--><?php if ( $preview_pdf = get_field( 'preview_pdf' ) ){ ?> <button id="myBtn" class="preview_book_btn button">Read Demo Book</button> <!-- The Modal --> <div id="myModal" class="modal"> <!-- Modal content --> <div class="modal-content"> <span class="close">×</span> <?php echo do_shortcode('[pdf-embedder url="'.get_field('preview_pdf').'"]');?> </div> </div> <?php }}After adding this code we have to add another code to show JavaScript modal box while customers click on the “Read Demo Book” button. You can add custom CSS or JS code using Simple Custom CSS and JS Plugin. Just install this plugin and paste these codes.
// Get the modal Javascript Codevar modal = document.getElementById("myModal");// Get the button that opens the modalvar btn = document.getElementById("myBtn");// Get the <span> element that closes the modalvar span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0];// When the user clicks the button, open the modal btn.onclick = function() { modal.style.left = "0";}// When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modalspan.onclick = function() { modal.style.left = "-100%";}// When the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, close itwindow.onclick = function(event) { if (event.target == modal) { modal.style.left = "-100%"; }}And you can add this CSS code to design button, list items, and etc.
/* The Modal (background) */.modal { /* Hidden by default */ position: fixed; /* Stay in place */ z-index: 999; /* Sit on top */ padding-top: 100px; /* Location of the box */ left: -100%; top: 0; width: 100%; /* Full width */ height: 100%; /* Full height */ overflow: scroll; /* Enable scroll if needed */ }/* Modal Content */.modal-content { background-color: #fefefe; margin: auto; padding: 20px; border: 1px solid #888; width: 80%;}/* The Close Button */.close { color: #aaaaaa; float: right; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;}.close:hover,.close:focus { color: #000; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer;}/* CSS for Read Book Button */.preview_book_btn { width: 100%; background: #ffe400; color: #000;}ul.book_infolist { list-style: none; padding: 0px;}ul.book_infolist li { border-bottom: solid 1px #f1f1f1; padding: 5px;}Hope you enjoyed this article and you have created your professional multi vendor book store website.
