Description

The ACF extension connects Formidable Forms to the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, allowing you to create front-end forms that save data directly into associated ACF fields for posts, pages, or custom post types. This component syncs submissions with the post meta managed by ACF, eliminating the need for manual mapping and enabling visual editing of custom content by users without access to the WordPress admin panel.

Key Features

  • Direct mapping of ACF fields
    Links each form field to a corresponding field from Advanced Custom Fields.
  • Broad coverage of field types
    Supports text, textarea, select, checkbox, radio, image, and ACF relationships.
  • Creating and editing posts in the front-end
    Forms generate or update posts already populated with their custom fields.
  • Recognition of field groups
    Imports groups configured in ACF for direct use in Formidable’s visual builder.
  • Synchronization with post meta
    Saves and reads values in the same format expected by ACF’s native functions.

ACF Benefits

  • Content editing without a dashboard
    Users update custom fields through public forms, without access to wp-admin.
  • Development cost savings
    Eliminates the need for custom code to connect Advanced Custom Fields to site forms.
  • Collaborative workflows
    Teams feed directories, catalogs, and profiles with submissions controlled by Formidable.
  • Data consistency
    Keeps a single source of truth between form entries and post meta.

Who Is It For?

  • WordPress developers who already use Advanced Custom Fields and need to expose these fields for public editing.
  • Agencies that build directories, real estate catalogs, or portals powered by clients and users themselves.
  • Editorial sites and member platforms that rely on custom content types with front-end submissions.

Built for WordPress developers and agencies that have already structured custom content types with Advanced Custom Fields, this component covers the point where Formidable Forms ends and ACF begins, turning public forms into content management interfaces. Directories, real estate catalogs, member portals, and technical sheets are now powered directly by end users, without exposing the admin panel.
