Overview

WordPress sites often need content fields that go beyond the standard post title and body. This plugin lets you define fields and field groups for different content needs, giving editors structured ways to enter and manage information. Repeater fields handle sets of subfields, while flexible content fields let editors arrange groups of subfields into page layouts.

For site-specific editing, the plugin includes options pages for global settings and content, plus PHP-based blocks for the block editor. You can reuse existing fields or field groups with the Clone field, organize image collections with the Gallery field, and use import and export tools to move field groups between projects or environments. It suits custom WordPress builds that need tailored content structures and editing interfaces.

Features

  • Repeater fields: Create repeatable sets of subfields to manage structured content, such as entries where editors need to add multiple related items.
  • Flexible content layouts: Define groups of subfields that editors can arrange dynamically to build page sections and content layouts.
  • Custom editor blocks: Build PHP-based WordPress blocks for use in the block editor, with custom content and layouts for site pages.
  • Global options pages: Add admin pages for site-wide settings and content, including information managed for areas such as headers or footers.
  • Gallery field: Create, sort and manage image collections with a field designed for handling multiple media assets.
  • Clone existing fields: Reuse existing fields or entire field groups in different parts of a site to keep content structures consistent.
  • Import and export fields: Use the dedicated tools page to import or export field groups when moving them between projects or environments.

Best for

  • WordPress developers building custom sites
  • Site owners managing structured content
  • Agencies creating tailored editing workflows

Changelog

Version 6.8.10 — 10 September 2026

  • Security ACF now validates that uploaded PDF files begin with the standard %PDF- header before further processing, rejecting files that do not match the expected format
  • Security The Relationship, Post Object, Image, Gallery, and File fields now enforce WordPress read permissions on referenced posts and attachments when returned in REST API responses
  • Security ACF now verifies both preview context and the caller's edit capability before substituting revision data when field values are retrieved for a post
  • Security The _acf_form token used by frontend forms now expires and is bound to its issuing render, and acf_encrypt()/acf_decrypt() gain an optional $context argument for domain separation between token uses
  • Security ACF now consistently runs field validation on frontend form submissions containing field data, ensuring required-field checks and custom acf/validate_value filters cannot be circumvented
  • Security ACF's REST API schema no longer discloses per-object field-group configuration in OPTIONS requests to callers who lack read permission on the target object
  • Security The User field AJAX endpoint now validates that the request nonce was created for a User field
