What changed in this version
Version 6.8.10
- Release Date 10th September 2026
- Security - ACF now validates that uploaded PDF files begin with the standard `%PDF-` header before further processing, rejecting files that do not match the expected format
- Security - The Relationship, Post Object, Image, Gallery, and File fields now enforce WordPress read permissions on referenced posts and attachments when returned in REST API responses
- Security - ACF now verifies both preview context and the caller's edit capability before substituting revision data when field values are retrieved for a post
- Security - The `_acf_form` token used by frontend forms now expires and is bound to its issuing render, and `acf_encrypt` / `acf_decrypt` gain an optional `$context` argument for domain separation between token uses
- Security - ACF now consistently runs field validation on frontend form submissions containing field data, ensuring required-field checks and custom `acf/validate_value` filters cannot be circumvented
- Security - ACF's REST API schema no longer discloses per-object field-group configuration in OPTIONS requests to callers who lack read permission on the target object
- Security - The User field AJAX endpoint now validates that the request nonce was created for a User field
Version 6.8.9
- Release Date 27th August 2026
- [View Release Post]
- Enhancement - ACF Blocks registered via `acf_register_block_type` or `block.json` without an explicit version now default to v3 on WordPress 7.1 or later. Blocks that specify a version continue to use the version they declare, and the default can be customized via the `acf/blocks/default_block_version` filter
- Enhancement - ACF Blocks v3 now supports a `renderPreview` option in `block.json`. Setting `"renderPreview": false` shows a placeholder with the block's icon, title, and an "Edit Block" button in the editor instead of rendering the block's template as a live preview. The block continues to render normally on the front-end, and legacy v2 blocks combining `"mode": "edit"` with `"supports": { "mode": false }` are automatically migrated when upgraded to v3
- Fix - Inline editable fields in ACF Blocks V3 no longer require a second click before they can be edited
- Fix - Radio buttons now appear correctly in ACF admin screens
- Fix - Image and Gallery fields no longer reject SVG uploads when the Safe SVG plugin is active
Version 6.8.8
- Release Date 19th August 2026
- Fix - Image and Gallery fields no longer reject SVG files
Version 6.8.7
- Release Date 4th August 2026
- Security - ACF Image and Gallery fields now enforce server-side validation to accept only image files
- Security - The `path` attribute of registered ACF Blocks is now protected from being overridden by client-supplied block data
- Security - ACF's `acf_encrypt` and `acf_decrypt` helpers now authenticate encrypted values with an HMAC and no longer fall back to base64 encoding when OpenSSL is unavailable
- Security - ACF's comment, user, and options page form save handlers now only save values for fields whose field groups are assigned to the current save context
- Security - The Post Object, Page Link, and Relationship field AJAX search queries now enforce WordPress read permissions, preventing unauthenticated visitors from seeing non-public post statuses or post types
- Security - The User field now returns only user IDs in REST API responses to requesters without the `list_users` capability, preventing unauthenticated visitors from seeing user email addresses
Version 6.8.6
- Release Date 14th July 2026
- Fix - Google Maps field values are no longer double-encoded when saved in an ACF block
- Fix - Inserting a Link field value in the Classic Editor no longer triggers validation for other required fields before the post is saved
