User: – Visit a page that has an editable text field – Click the small, blue pencil icon near the content you wish to update. – Enter new content, click ‘Update’. – That’s it! The new content is now set and is updated also in the DB. ## FAQ ### I have installed and activated the plugin, but I still can’t see any changes on the frontend, why is that? Please make sure to put ‘acfgo’ in the target field’s class. You can do so by going to the field’s field-group page, then in the field attributes go to ‘Wrapper Attributes- > class’, type ‘acfgo’ and click ‘update’. ### What kind of ACF fields are supported? Right now the plugin works only for non-repeater text fields. We’re working on adding functionality to more kinds of fields. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1d05db97d52a266c28ee9369db59808c258a5afc3d8f0aa31bc7c91388ff61c2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Curious…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/curious-5/)󠁿 [shua](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shua/) March 1, 2021 How is this different than a standard ACF Frontend Form? ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6b36602b706e9c6c21342ea0121d8bed29c0c4afba5891242b6781007a2651f2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great little plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-little-plugin-265/)󠁿 [stephenclark2000](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stephenclark2000/) August 6, 2020 Great little plugin that does exactly what is says it will. Still new, but will hopefully grow in functionality and design. Allowing the user to customise the input box css styles would also be great. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a0f38829844fce319483d273a125551b392fdf0c3c6662ded3fbeb5e54a02123? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Idea.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-idea-164/)󠁿 [Nadav Cohen](https://profiles.wordpress.org/amaa/) February 19, 2020 Can’t wait for the support of more field types ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/13badfa2b4b6882d9d46d2a213b2c6c6a001214db7ee09504bd063070a72697c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Amazing idea!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-idea-3/)󠁿 [thbx](https://profiles.wordpress.org/thbx/) February 19, 2020 I loved the idea of this plugin.
