ACF Flexible Layout Preview adds a visual preview workflow for Advanced Custom Fields Flexible Content layouts. Editors can see layout screenshots before adding a row, and administrators can manage those images from a dedicated settings screen.
Requirements
- Advanced Custom Fields Pro must be installed and active.
- A valid ACF Pro license key must be entered at ACF Updates.
The plugin will not activate — and will deactivate itself at runtime — if either of these conditions is not met.
Features
- Visual layout picker for ACF Flexible Content fields.
- Settings page under ACF > Layout Previews.
- Auto-discovers Flexible Content layouts from ACF field groups.
- Upload, replace, view, and remove layout preview images.
- Add custom layouts before they exist in an ACF field group.
- Default preview image for layouts without a custom preview.
- Grid column setting for the preview library.
- Light and dark settings page theme.
- Documentation tab with setup steps and usage benefits.
- Images stored in /wp-content/uploads/acf-layout-previews/.
Usage
- Create an ACF Flexible Content field and add layouts.
- Open the plugin settings page.
- Upload a preview image for each discovered layout.
- Use Add Custom Layout for layouts that are planned but not yet registered in ACF.
- Edit a post, click Add Row/Add Layout, and choose layouts from the visual preview modal.
