Advanced Custom Fields: Extended Pro adds field, layout, and administration tools to WordPress projects that use ACF Pro. The Pro edition adds 20+ ACF fields, enhances 10+ existing fields, and provides 20+ additional field group locations.

Configure fields and where they appear

Field options include visibility controls and global conditional rules, alongside advanced validation, custom required messages, instruction placement, and minimum or maximum item counts. New field options include styled True/False controls, expanded WYSIWYG Editor settings, and a Payment Field that works with Stripe and PayPal Express.

Advanced field group locations target posts by author, date, slug, or path; menu items by depth or type; and taxonomy terms by name, parent, or slug. Other locations include attachment and visitor lists, dashboard widgets, field values, WooCommerce pages, and WordPress settings screens.

Arrange flexible content and editing screens

The Flexible Content Grid System organizes layouts in a grid, while layout location rules control where related functions apply. The Templates Manager helps organize reusable flexible content layouts for page-builder-style processes.

Additional administration tools include a Classic Editor settings interface, screen layout controls, and enhancements to the Field Group UI. The Dynamic Block Types module lets administrators register and manage ACF Block Types in WordPress. Pro supports synchronizing block types with JSON and PHP files. The Dynamic Options Pages module provides similar administration for ACF Options Pages, with JSON and PHP synchronization.

Manage forms, metadata, and field groups

The enhanced Forms module handles Advanced ACF Forms from WordPress administration. It retains native ACF form settings and adds settings and actions for controlling form behavior. Developer Mode presents custom metadata for posts, terms, users, and options in a readable format.

Field group tools include automatic synchronization with local PHP files, controls for JSON synchronization, and force synchronization. They also provide custom keys and metadata, categories, alternative show titles, additional instruction placements, and Field Group UI enhancements.

The add-on supports WPML and Polylang multilingual workflows.

Requirements and setup

The listing specifies ACF Pro 5.8 as the minimum requirement. A compatibility notice says support for 5.8 ended in September 2026 and recommends ACF Pro 5.9 or later to maintain compatibility with future versions.

Install the add-on through the WordPress extensions screen or upload its files, then activate it. Configure field groups, locations, synchronization, forms, options pages, and block types for the project, and enable the modules needed for the intended process.
