Flexible Content Filter for ACF adds a search box to the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Flexible Content field's \"Add Module\" popup. When you have many layout options, this makes it quick to find the module you need by typing to filter the list.<\/p>\n\n

Requirements:<\/strong> This plugin requires Advanced Custom Fields Pro<\/a> with the Flexible Content field type. It will not load if ACF is not active.<\/p>\n\n

  • Works with dynamically added popups (MutationObserver)<\/li>\n
  • Keyboard support: Escape clears the filter<\/li>\n
