I’m just starting out with piklist, and I’m very familiar with products like ACF—which includes functions to render custom fields of different types in PHP templates such as single-my-cpt.php—and Toolset where you can output fields using shortcodes in its templates for CPTs.
Does piklist include anything comparable to ACF’s the_field function?
Or does it concern itself mostly with getting data in, and we should use get_post_meta and worry about how the field is rendered ourselves?
(I see in the documentation piklist provides helpers for registering shortcodes and widgets.)
Thanks.

@blinkcursor– Welcome to the Piklist community!
Piklist does everything the “WordPress way”, and saves your data normally. If you open your database you would be able to read your data easily. Instead of helpers functions, you should use standard WordPress functions like
get_post_meta.Let us know if you have any questions.
