ACF Copilot is still its alpha version. Please don’t add negative or 1-star reviews. Contact us directly via our website, Krasen Slavov, or use the WP.org plugin Support Tab page.
ACF Copilot provides you with a set of features that extend the great Advanced Custom Fields plugin and help you to develop, build and test your theme much faster.
USAGE AND FEATURES
LivePreview Mode
LivePreview allows you to view the changes in a new window after each custom field value is modified.
You can set this option globally from the ACF Copilot Settings options page or individually for each post or page.
Code Snippets
On the page or post where you have set your Custom Field group to be shown, you will see a Clipboard 📋 icon showing the generated code snippets for each custom field type.
You can copy/paste those snippets and build your theme components quickly.
Usage and Examples
You have a related help section to each field type on the Custom Fields group pages with built-in usage and examples section.
You can view this section by clicking on the Support icon next to each field type.
Custom Field Templates
Each supported Custom Field type has a Template with Code Editor where you can directly create a partial template for each custom field.
The replacement variables for fields follow the template {{acfc_[field_name]}}
Bootstrap 5 Classes and Components
Within the Template Code Editor, you can access a library of Bootstrap 5 classes and components.
