Hi @mkimmet,

Yes, you can use an existing custom table. To do so, ensure the following:

1. The table must include a post_id column (it should contain the associated post’s ID)
2. The column names should match your ACF field names exactly (both column names and ACF field names must be identical).

if I use the filter you mention, the ACF will save at new table right?

Yes, when you add the filter, ACF data will be stored only in the custom table.

but then functions like get_post etc will not works? because it’s not pull from the new table?

The get_post function retrieves WordPress post details. To fetch data from a custom table, you can use the following methods:

1. Mysql query using WPDB
2. get_field function
3. Helper functions provided by the plugin such as get_custom_table_fields

Hi @chaoscript,

To keep your WordPress site compatible with other plugins, by default this plugin saves ACF field data in the?wp_postmeta?table along with a custom table. You can disable this behavior using this filter.

add_filter('acf_ct/settings/store_acf_values_in_post_meta', '__return_false');

Hi @imachris,

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I’ll try replicate the issue and work on a fix.
I appreciate your feedback and will keep you updated.

Hi,

To convert WYSIWYG field content to HTML use following snippet:

echo do_shortcode(apply_filters('the_content', $content));

Hi @neticonic,

Currently the plugin does not support “bidirectional relationship” field type.

Hi,

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! ??

Our plugin supports ACF functions like get_field and update_field. If you’re using get_field to read data and update_field to update field data in your REST API, it will work perfectly.

Hi,

Yes, the plugin is actively maintained and compatible with the latest ACF and WordPress versions. We released a new version today.

Hi,

The return format determines how image data is returned by ACF’s get_field function. The plugin saves the image ID in the database for dynamic retrieval. You can convert the image ID to a URL using WordPress function wp_get_attachment_url($image_id)

Hi,

This plugin uses the acf/save_post action to handle data saving in custom table. If Dynamic.ooo is not using this action then the data will not be saved in the custom table

Could you please share the add-on (link/details) you are using to save data from the frontend? We will add support for it.

Hi,

Thank you for reporting the issue. We will fix this on priority.

Hi,

You can use acf/save_post action with high priority.

Example:

add_action('acf/save_post', 'handleAcfSave', 20); // Priority 20

function handleAcfSave( $post_id ) {
  // ACF data is saved to custom table. 
}

Using the transition_post_status action with a high priority will also work.

FYI, our plugin offers the acf_ct/update_table_data filter, allowing you to modify custom table data before it’s inserted into the custom table.

Hi @selim13,
Thank you for reporting the issue and suggesting the approach. I will introduce support for field groups generated via PHP.

Hi

Plugin does not support option pages. The reason for this limitation is that option page data typically associated to a single entity rather than multiple entities like posts.
