Advanced Custom Fields (ACF®) turns WordPress sites into a fully-fledged content management system by giving you all the tools to do more with your data.
Use the ACF plugin to take full control of your WordPress edit screens, custom field data, and more.
Add fields on demand.
The ACF field builder allows you to quickly and easily add fields to WP edit screens with only the click of a few buttons! Whether it’s something simple like adding an “author” field to a book review post, or something more complex like the structured data needs of an ecommerce site or marketplace, ACF makes adding fields to your content model easy.
Add them anywhere.
Fields can be added all over WordPress including posts, pages, users, taxonomy terms, media, comments and even custom options pages! It couldn’t be simpler to bring structure to the WordPress content creation experience.
Show them everywhere.
Load and display your custom field values in any theme template file with our hassle-free, developer friendly functions! Whether you need to display a single value or generate content based on a more complex query, the out-of-the-box functions of ACF make templating a dream for developers of all levels of experience.
Any Content, Fast.
Turning WordPress into a true content management system is not just about custom fields. Creating new custom post types and taxonomies is an essential part of building custom WordPress sites. Registering post types and taxonomies is now possible right in the ACF UI, speeding up the content modeling workflow without the need to touch code or use another plugin.
Simply beautiful and intentionally accessible.
For content creators and those tasked with data entry, the field user experience is as intuitive as they could desire while fitting neatly into the native WordPress experience. Accessibility standards are regularly reviewed and applied, ensuring ACF is able to empower as close to anyone as possible.
Documentation and developer guides.
Over 10 plus years of vibrant community contribution alongside an ongoing commitment to clear documentation means that you’ll be able to find the guidance you need to build what you want.
The Advanced Custom Fields plugin is also available in a professional version which includes more fields, more functionality, and more flexibility. The ACF PRO plugin features:
The Repeater Field allows you to create a set of sub fields which can be repeated again, and again, and again.
ACF Blocks, a powerful PHP-based framework for developing custom block types for the WordPress Block Editor (aka Gutenberg).
Define, create, and manage content with the Flexible Content Field, which provides for multiple layout and sub field options.
Use the Options Page feature to add custom admin pages to edit ACF fields.
Build fully customisable image galleries with the Gallery Field.
Unlock a more efficient workflow for managing field settings by reusing existing fields and field groups on demand with the Clone Field.

Made custom fields setup really easy for me. Clean interface, simple to manage, and saved a lot of time while building things. Everything worked smoothly on my side.
ACF made custom fields so easy for my site. Setup is smooth. Works great with theme n dev work. Very flexible n saves a lot of time. One of my must-use plugins tbh.
This plugin made my custom work much easier. Adding and managing fields feels simple and clear. It gives good control without making things messy. Very solid plugin for regular use.
One of the best plugins I’ve used. Makes custom fields super easy to manage. Works smoothly and is very flexible. tnx to devs, really helped in my projects 👍
ACF really helps when adding custom fields to posts n pages. Setup is pretty simple and very flexible. Took a little time to learn at first, but works great once you get used to it. Tnkz devs.
The back-end set up is great and clearly this is a powerful plugin. However, this plugin requires either the paid version or custom PHP theme to display the content on the front end!
There are no blocks included and the support on the website seems to be referring to the old editor.
This is the kind of walled garden approach I don't think should be welcome from WordPress plugins.
I have wasted a huge amount of my time trying to make this plugin work, have now given up and am using a directory plugin instead. I would have preferred ACF as it's a simpler solution but even being savvy and using ChatGPT I couldn't get my fields to show up in the free WordPress theme.
ACF really helps me build custom layouts without extra hassle. Field setup is clear & options are flexible. Saves a lot of dev time. There's a bit of a learning curve at first, but once you get it, it works really well.
Using Advanced Custom Fields really helped me control custom data easily. UI is clean and setup is simple. Saved a lot of dev time. Cz of that my workflow feels smoother. Some things need Pro, but overall tnkz ACF 👍
