A “Must Have” plugin for ACF users

If you’re using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), then you gotta get this plugin! It’s such a HUGE time saver. When you create your ACF fields, this plugin will automatically generate the PHP code you’ll need, to use those fields in your theme/plugin. No more Googling to search for the correct function to implement your ACF fields. This plugin will save you so much time! Great work guys! ????

Una navaja suiza para ACF

Jairo Ochoa November 8, 2021 1 reply

Si eres desarrollador y usas ACF este plugin es perfecto porque tienes todo el PHP necesario con simplemente hacer copia pega. Aunque para campos de texto y otros quizás no sea necesario porque las funciones de ACF son sencillas de recordar, cuando construyes estructuras más complejas con campos de repetición, por ejemplo, te ahorra mucho tiempo. Lo copias, lo pegas en tu función de tu tema o plugin y ya puedes mostrar los datos en pantalla.

Great Plugin
