Description
Marbak Multi Image Field for ACF adds a lightweight multi-image field to Advanced Custom Fields.
It focuses on a simple core workflow:
- Select multiple images from the WordPress media library
- Preview selected images inside the field
- Reorder images with drag and drop
- Remove images easily
- Return gallery values as Image Array, Image URL, or Image ID
Optional Elementor integration is included through a custom dynamic tag, allowing the field to be used with Elementor Pro gallery-capable widgets.
This plugin is designed as a clean addon field type for ACF. It does not replace ACF Pro features or attempt to duplicate the full ACF Pro Gallery field.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.0 or newer
- PHP 7.4 or newer
- Advanced Custom Fields plugin installed and active
