Description

The plugin allows to display selected ACF fields or Posts anywhere using shortcodes, HTML markup is created automatically by the plugin.

Note: “ACF Views” plugin requires Advanced Custom Fields plugin to be enabled on your website (either Free or Pro version).

🌟 Display ACF fields and Posts

Solve all these scenarios without coding.

Display ACF fields on a page
E.g. add multiple ACF fields to the homepage and display them
Display specific posts (built-in or CPT) in a grid or list beautifully
E.g. display the latest WooCommerce products with their ACF fields
Display specific post or CPT item with its fields
E.g. display “sponsor” CPT item on another post/page
Display specific ACF fields for all items of a CPT
E.g. display multiple ACF fields for all WooCommerce products

Nearly all plugins use Custom Post Types (CPT) to store their data. Plugins like WooCommerce call it Products, whatever they’re called the ACF Views plugin supports it all.

🕗 Less time with less effort

Better than coding. See why here.

Select fields from a list, no need to worry about their names and return types
Markup auto generated uses BEM method to avoid conflicts
UI to define selection filters, no need to worry about DB query arguments
Editing theme templates via FTP is in the past
CSS and JS code can be added without hassle
Built-in features, like pagination to save hours of coding

💡 How it works

View for ACF fields
Create a View and assign one or more custom fields, our plugin then generates a shortcode that you’ll use to display the field values to users. Style the output with the CSS field included in every View.

Card for post selections
Create a Card and assign posts (or CPT items), choose a View (that will be used to display each item) and our plugin generates a shortcode that you’ll use to display the set of posts. The list of posts can be assigned manually or dynamically with filters.

📢 Powerful features

Display built-in post fields (like title or thumbnail) along with ACF fields
Display post A in post B with its fields
Define custom CSS and JS
No style conflicts due to BEM method used
Combine ACF fields from two different field groups
Restrict visibility to specific user roles

🎯 High Performance

Every wrapper has some overhead. We do our best to make this number as small as possible. One unique ACF View/Card on a page would only effect this by 0.01 seconds* overhead compared to the usual way with coding. It’s impossible to notice these tiny numbers visually without testing it.

Custom fields not in the list of fields?

Only fields created using the official Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin are compatible with ACF Views. See list above for supported field types.

Can I display user fields?

Yes, you set up your field groups in ACF and assign those fields to your View, paste the shortcode in the target place, add the object-id=”$user$” argument to the shortcode to display the fields from the current user. See here for more about shortcode arguments.

Can I display fields from my options page?

Yes, you set up your field groups in ACF and assign those fields to your View, paste the shortcode in the target place, add the object-id=”options” argument to the shortcode to display the fields from the options page. See here for more about shortcode arguments.

Fields have been assigned but the page doesn’t show them

Have you checked that the fields are filled in the target object? See steps for creating an ACF View.

Can I display fields inside the Gutenberg Query Loop?

You can use the View shortcode inside the Gutenberg Query Loop element. Only make sure you’ve added it via the built-in Shortcode element, as it won’t work properly with others, like Custom HTML.

The plugin does exactly what it should and is super helpful for a mid-tier ACF user. The support team is also incredibly helpful, if it shows anything it took me 5 mins to figure out my wordpress login just so that i can drop this reviews

Thanks for the plugin, I used it to make some post grids. Easy enough to learn too.

Thank you for creating this plugin, it's easy to install and easy to make views for my pages.

websteronline 13 Meán an tSamhraidh, 2022

Only one shortcode for all the fields you want to use, it just makes sense. It allowed me to add my bulletin message in my blog sidebar. Exactly what I needed.
