Usage

Get Field Value

$post_type_var = 'post_type';
$post_type = get_sub_field( $post_type_var );

Get Field Value and Display Label

<?php
// get post type fields
$post_type_var = 'post_type';
$post_type = get_sub_field( $post_type_var );

// get post type label
$post_type_object = get_post_type_object( $post_type ); ?>

<li><a href="<?php echo get_post_type_archive_link( $post_type ); ?>"><?php echo $post_type_object->label; ?></a></li>

Filter available post types

By default, only post types with parameter public will be shown. If you need to show non-public post types use the filter post_type_selector_post_types as described below. This filter also allows you to remove post types from the list.

add_filter( 'post_type_selector_post_types', function( $post_types, $field ) {
	$post_types['foo'] = get_post_type_object( 'foo' );
	unset( $post_types['post'] );
	return $post_types;
}, 10, 2 );
