Hi,
I need to create various post types having custom fields and I understand that I have 2 ways of doing this :
1. Create the needed custom fields with ACF and create custom types with CPT UI.
OR
2. Just create a post template in Elementor and add ACF custom fields to it.
The obvious difference is that with solution #2, the custom posts won't appear directly in the Dashboard. I'll have t go through the Elementor Library. Being an absolute beginner with WP and Elementor (although I'm a former application developer and system engineer), I'm wondering whether there are other benefits/drawbacks that I could overlook in both solutions.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
