The Beaver Builder team created a free course showing how to use Beaver Builder together with Advanced Custom Fields and Grid Builder WP.

This tutorial looks at possible issues when using post meta queries, along with various options to help performance.

Some time ago WooCommerce added High Performance Order Storage (HPOS) which offers significant performance improvements. Unfortunately, this broke compatibility with ACF. Before HPOS orders were saved as a Custom Post Type but HPOS introduced its own table structure. The ACF team just released an update for ACF Pro that makes it compatible with WooCommerce HPOS so that you can use custom fields, option pages, ACF blocks, etc with the new table structure.

GatoGraphQL now supports all ACF field types.

Using ACF to extend frontend member profiles and fronted login/registration pages created by popular plugins.

Secure Custom Fields is a fork of ACF Pro. It provides all of the features of ACF Pro for free and the number of active installs is rapidly growing. In this video I look at the pros and cons of SCF for users and also consider the issue from the point of view of developers who might be asked to support it.

ACF Pro is now available for download from WordPress.org under the name Secure Custom Fields. I take a look at this new addition to the WordPress plugin directory and wonder if this is a fork or a nulled plugin?

ACF released the results of their annual survey. There are some interesting results. For example, hybrid theme use has caught up to classic themes and Bricks is the #2 most popular builder among the respondents.

This release includes important security fixes, improvements and bug fixes.
