Looping custom posts types

On my home page, I would like to have a section on the page where I loop out team members that have been created with CPT UI and ACF Pro.
Is this possible? If not why? If you can't do this I would like to suggest that your marketing is a bit misleading by saying Brizy works with ACF and dynamic content.
From what I can see so far from playing around is that ACF and looping content is limited.
Also, there should be a way of using custom post type content in the carousel and other widgets, again, these seem to only work with normal posts, unless I am missing something?
This is easily done with Kadence Blocks, Elementor. 
How can we build advanced sites if these features don't work yet?

  Hi,

  Yes, it is possible to display the Custom posts created with ACF in the pages. To display all team members you have on a page, you have to:
  1 - Add a Custom Taxonomy in the Custom Post Type https://jmp.sh/NDirFk9;
  2 - Create a Taxonomy in the CPT, for example, I created the "new-set" taxonomy https://jmp.sh/VbgbRze;
  3 - After this go to all CPT and add them to this newly created taxonomy (for example, for all CPT I set the "new-set" taxonomy) https://jmp.sh/zFuatE1;
  4 - Go to Pages and create a new page (or open the page where you want to display all CPT Team Members);
  5 - Edit it with Brizy (this step is for the situation when the page isn't created if the page is already created, open the Brizy editor);
  6 - Inside this page add the Posts element;
  7 - For the Posts element, select for showing the posts from the custom taxonomy, in my example, I selected the "new-set" https://jmp.sh/2dUko16.

  Important! Check and make sure that in the Posts element you are using the Custom fields https://jmp.sh/u0NzcUv.

  Best regards,
  Sandra

  Hey Sandra,
  
  please make custom post types also available for the carousel widget. We can only select default post's categories there.

  Ah sorry, just found out that adding a custom taxonomy for this cpt as mentioned above did the trick!

  Thanks,

  Daniel
