ACF Plugin Framework

A simple ACF framework for WordPress plugins developers.

Behavior

This framework will automatically detect if ACF is installed and activated on the targeted website. If ACF isn't found, it will be silently loaded within the plugin.

ACF admin menu

When ACF is loaded from the framework, the ACF admin menu is hidden by default. It is possible to alter this behavior using the following hook: add_filter('acff/show_admin', '__return_true');.

If ACF is loaded as a native plugin, the ACF admin menu isn't altered.

ACF Pro

By default, the framework is bundled with ACF Free version. To use ACF Pro instead, please follow this instructions:

• Create a folder in: /my-plugin/acf-framework/acf-pro/
• Put ACF Pro files inside the /acf-pro/ folder

The framework will automatically load ACF Pro, if it isn't detected on the current website.

It is possible to use a custom ACF Pro path, using the following hooks:

add_filter('acff/path', function(){
    return '/path/to/acf-pro/';
});

add_filter('acff/url', function(){
    return '/url/to/acf-pro/';
});

ACF json

The framework will auto-detect the following folders and include them as part of the ACF Json Loading sequence:

/my-plugin/acf-framework/acf-json/
/my-plugin/acf-json/
