# Mapping Meta Fields with Meta Keys in Fluent Forms

Fluent Forms offers a powerful **Meta Fields Mapping** feature that allows you to map **post meta fields** into your form. Post meta fields are WordPress objects that store additional data about a post.

This guide will walk you through mapping meta fields for both **Post Forms** and **Product Forms** in Fluent Forms.

## Mapping Meta Fields with a Post Form

### Create or Use an Existing Post Form

Start by creating a **Custom Post Form** or using an existing one. Ensure the **Field Group** is set to **Post Type**. To know more about creating post forms read this [article](https://fluentforms.com/docs/how-to-create-a-post-form-with-fluent-forms/). 

A post form might include fields like:

- Post Title
- Post Content
- Categories
- Simple Text
- Numeric Field

> ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) mapping requires the use of mapped meta fields.

### Setup Custom Meta Fields with ACF

To map the meta field, follow the simple steps given below-

First, use a plugin like **Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)** to create a field group for your WordPress posts. Then, copy the **Name Attributes** of the fields from the **Custom Fields plugin**.

### Map Meta Fields in Fluent Forms

In your form, go to **Settings & Integrations**taband navigate to the **Post Creation Feed**.

Now, Click +**Add Meta Field** button and paste the copied meta keys into the designated field. Ensure that standard post fields, such as **Post Title** and **Post Content**, are mapped in the form settings before adding custom meta fields.

After adding all the required meta keys, click the **Save Feed** button to save your configuration. Fill out and submit the form.

Open the post and check if the **Post Title**, **Post Author**, and other values are mapped correctly.

Now, add the Add Product-Specific Fields. Include fields such as:

- Post Title
