Hello @caiocrcosta,
Thanks for the feedback. Left aligned fields are designed for complex field groups which have many fields. The UI keeps things more clean, and clearly separate field labels from actual fields input. It’s a more sophisticated version of the native WP admin screens (label on left, input on right). https://i.imgur.com/c7ZGZsf.png
That’s also why ACF native Field Group UI use this layout, because it’s easier for the user to understand the UI. https://i.imgur.com/bPIO2rP.png
Have a nice day!

Hello @hwk-fr, thanks for the quick reply! It all makes sense now. I’m marking this as resolved since my question was answered, but I’d like to say I’d rather have an option (or a hook, perhaps) to make all fields have their labels default to Top instead. Here’s hope this makes sense and, if it does, you have some time in the future to implement something like this. Thanks again!
Hello,
Good news, there’s already a hook to reset the default label placement when adding a new field group 🙂
You can use the following code in your functions.php file:
add_filter('acf/validate_field_group', 'my_acf_field_group_default_label_placement', 20);
function my_acf_field_group_default_label_placement($field_group){
// Bail early early if it's not a new field group
if(acf_maybe_get($field_group, 'location'))
return $field_group;
// Default label placement: Top
$field_group['label_placement'] = 'top';
return $field_group;
}
Have a nice day!
Regards.
