## Description

Adding layouts to an ACF Flexible Content field means clicking the dropdown and 
picking them one at a time, with nothing but a label to go on. **AIBS Flexible Content
Picker for ACF** replaces that dropdown with a visual modal so your editors can 
actually _see_ what they’re adding.

Each layout appears as a card with a thumbnail, title, and short description, so
editors can see exactly what they’re adding before they add it.

#### Features

 * Visual modal replaces the default layout dropdown
 * Thumbnail, title, and description for every layout (set in the ACF field group
   editor)
 * Add layouts to your field with a single click
 * Lightweight — no bloat, no external connections, no account required

Every feature above is fully functional in this free plugin — there is no license
key, no trial, and nothing gated. A separate, optional **Pro add-on** (sold and 
downloaded from its own site, not from WordPress.org) adds a power-user workflow:
select several layouts and add them in one batch, reorder your selection before 
inserting, and search across large layout libraries.

#### Requirements

This plugin extends the **Flexible Content** field, which is part of **Advanced 
Custom Fields PRO**. ACF PRO 6.0 or later must be installed and active.

#### About the optional Pro add-on

This free plugin gives every editor the full visual picker: preview each layout 
as a card and add it to your Flexible Content field with a click, with no limits,
no license key, and no external connections. It is complete and fully functional
on its own.

A separate **AIBS Flexible Content Picker for ACF — Pro** add-on is sold and downloaded
from its own site (not from WordPress.org). When installed alongside this plugin
it adds a power-user workflow: selecting several layouts and adding them in one 
batch, reordering your selection before inserting, and searching across large layout
libraries. The add-on is entirely optional and its code is not part of this WordPress.
org plugin.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate **Advanced Custom Fields PRO** (6.0+).
 2. Install this plugin through the Plugins screen, or upload the ZIP.
 3. Activate it. You’ll be taken to the settings page on first activation.
 4. Open any Flexible Content field in the ACF field group editor and set an image,
    title, and description for each layout.
 5. When editing a post or page, click “Add Layout” to open the picker modal.

## FAQ

### Does this require ACF PRO?

Yes. The Flexible Content field is a PRO-only feature of Advanced Custom Fields,
so ACF PRO 6.0 or later must be active.

### Does it work with the free version of ACF?

No — Flexible Content is not available in the free version of ACF, so this plugin
needs ACF PRO.

### How many layouts can I use?

As many as your field defines — the free version lets you add any of them, one layout
at a time. The separate Pro add-on plugin adds multi-select (batch adding), drag-
to-reorder, and search.

### Where do the thumbnails and descriptions come from?

You set them per layout inside the ACF field group editor, in the field’s settings
panel.
