If your WordPress site uses Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), you don't need to recreate all that data in JetEngine to start filtering it. JetSmartFilters reads ACF meta fields directly — checkboxes, selects, radios, ranges, ratings, and visual filters all work without any data migration.
In this tutorial, Andrew shows how to connect ACF fields to a JetEngine listing grid (WordPress loop) and build fully functional filters on top of it — including the key settings differences between ACF and native JetEngine fields.
✅ What you'll learn:
• How to create a listing template (loop template) for ACF-based CPT data
• How to set up Checkbox, Select, Radio, Range, Rating, and Visual filters
• How to use "Get Choices From Field Data" and "Is Checkbox Meta Field" toggles
• How to set the correct Query Variable for each ACF field type
• How to apply filters to a Listing Grid on the page
• Key limitations: which ACF field types are not supported for filtering
