Editors can see layout screenshots before adding a row, and administrators can manage those images from a dedicated settings screen. ### Requirements * Advanced Custom Fields Pro must be installed and active. * A valid ACF Pro license key must be entered at ACF Updates. The plugin will not activate — and will deactivate itself at runtime — if either of these conditions is not met. ### Features * Visual layout picker for ACF Flexible Content fields. * Settings page under ACF > Layout Previews. * Auto-discovers Flexible Content layouts from ACF field groups. * Upload, replace, view, and remove layout preview images. * Add custom layouts before they exist in an ACF field group. * Default preview image for layouts without a custom preview. * Grid column setting for the preview library. * Light and dark settings page theme. * Documentation tab with setup steps and usage benefits. * Images stored in /wp-content/uploads/acf-layout-previews/. ### Usage 1. Create an ACF Flexible Content field and add layouts. 2. Open the plugin settings page. 3. Upload a preview image for each discovered layout. 4. Use Add Custom Layout for layouts that are planned but not yet registered in ACF. 5. Edit a post, click Add Row/Add Layout, and choose layouts from the visual preview modal. ### Author Chintan Soni ## Installation 1. Upload the acf-flexible-layout-preview folder to /wp-content/plugins/. 2. Make sure Advanced Custom Fields Pro is installed, active, and licensed. 3. Activate ACF Flexible Layout Preview from Plugins > Installed Plugins. 4. Go to ACF > Layout Previews. 5. Upload preview images for your Flexible Content layouts. 6. Optional: open Display Settings to set a default preview image, popup grid columns, and popup light/dark theme. ## FAQ ### Do I need ACF Pro? Yes, this plugin requires Advanced Custom Fields Pro to be installed and active. The free version of ACF does not include Flexible Content fields. ### Where are preview images stored? Images are stored in /wp-content/uploads/acf-layout-previews/ to keep them separate from your media library. ### Can I use this with existing layouts? Yes! The plugin automatically discovers all existing Flexible Content layouts from your ACF field groups. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ACF Flexible Layout Preview” is open source software.
