Hey natpromo4,
ACF has something similar built in. Check out their doc on local JSON.
The ACF version is handy, but WP-CFM just works more seamlessly because if you’re keeping the config file under version control, then deploying the site automatically the live (or whatever env yu deployed to) knows where the config file is, and you only have to click pull — instead of uploading a file from your computer.
If you commit the JSON files to version control and deploy them with your code ACF will automatically load them.
See the loading section of the local JSON doc and the synchronized JSON doc.
During ACF’s initialization procedure, all .json files within the acf-json folder will be loaded. By default ACF looks for a folder within your theme called acf-json, however, this is only 1 of the load points which can be added.
I did not know that, i guess i should have read the docs — Thanks for the tip, Andrew.
Thanks for the tip, Andrew.
No problem! Let me know if it works out for you.
