ACF PRO

Build a structured WordPress editing workflow

Advanced Custom Fields lets you define fields for information your site needs, from an author name on a book review to data for an ecommerce website or marketplace. Assign fields to posts, pages, users, taxonomy terms, media, comments, or custom settings pages. Editors enter values in those locations, and developers can load and display them in theme templates with ACF functions.

ACF PRO adds utilities for recurring content, varied page sections, custom blocks, shared options, image collections, and reusable field configurations.

Choose a structure for each kind of content

• Repeater Field: Group subfields into a set that can be repeated for lists, grouped details, or recurring sections.
• Flexible Content Field: Define multiple layouts and their subfields so editors can assemble pages from a controlled selection of sections.
• ACF Blocks: Develop custom block types for the WordPress Block Editor with a PHP-based framework.
• Options Page: Add custom administration pages for editing ACF fields and managing information outside individual posts or pages.
• Gallery Field: Create customizable image galleries in WordPress content editing screens.
• Clone Field: Reuse existing fields and field groups when configuring similar settings.

From field setup to displayed content

First, use the field builder to define the information a content model needs. Assign each field group to the relevant WordPress location, then editors can enter values in the corresponding editing screen. Developers can load those values in theme templates, whether they need to display one field or create content from a more complex query.

The ACF interface can also register custom post types and taxonomies, supporting content modeling without editing code or adding another plugin for that task. Together, these tools let a team define how information is organized, entered, and displayed across a WordPress site.

Where can the capabilities help?

Getting started

Install ACF PRO on the WordPress site where you want to manage custom fields and structured content. Create field groups, select where they appear, and configure the PRO capabilities the project needs. Documentation and developer guides explain how to build with ACF. The ACF Community Forums let users search earlier questions or start a discussion, though a response from the support team is not guaranteed.
