About This Video

Hello people, my name is Ferdy, and in this Divi 5 tutorial I show you how to go beyond regular blog posts and pages by creating a custom post type in WordPress using the free version of Advanced Custom Fields (ACF). I create a new post type called “Tutorials”, so every tutorial is its own thing (not a page, not a post). Then I add custom fields like a YouTube embed, video duration (watch time), and a few important links—exactly the kind of setup you need for a tutorial library, video portal, resource hub, or anything where you want structured content. After that, I build a clean single template in the Divi 5 Theme Builder so all the information is displayed automatically in the same style on every tutorial page. I also show a simple but powerful trick: conditional logic for link fields, so link 2 only shows up if link 1 has a value, and so on—super practical. And because visitors can watch the video on your website, you can increase time-on-site, which is great for SEO and conversions. That’s the way the cookie crumbles.
