I took advantage of the LTD that happened a long time ago as the deal was too good to ignore. I have yet to use a PRO feature but someday I'll grow up and be able to play with the big toys!

I've only ever really used the Gallery and Repeater PRO fields - like you say, the free version is so powerful you can do almost everything you need with just that.

Loving that 80's vibe music between the scenes :)

Out of all our website builds in almost 10 years, we only had to purchase ACF Pro once for the repeater field.

It would be nice if ACF included a type of Post Types Order capability into their plugin. Do you know if Post Types Order is problematic in regard to ACF? Thanks!

That was super helpful. ACF should add this video in there Free Vs Pro comparison xD

Hello, I did not buy acf pro, but I need to show a gallery (for a car sales website), is it possible in another way?

[raunakhajela]

I bought ACF Pro due to FOMO and I never used it anywhere. Most websites I built used ACF free which is more than enough. Also, I noticed some folks use repeater for showing posts which you can also do with query loop element in gutenberg.

How do images uploaded via the ACF field automatically be deleted when the image in the ACF field is changed?

[mpozainno]

Just today I almost bought ACF pro because of the options pages. I will tell you when I do.

After a long time using ACF and applying it to many of the most complex websites.
Then I realized the surprising thing: I didn't need, and didn't even want, to apply ACF PRO features to complex, high-quality websites.

That sounds contradictory but it's true. Even to me, the use of ACF Pro features is a sign of lack of intelligence in arranging and setting up ACF fields. Because the free version actually includes the most important features.
If you're forced to use Pro features, it's a clear sign things are getting messy.

I have consistently followed this method and consistently created the fastest and most professional websites. The funny thing is that if you use ACF Pro, it proves that your website is not professional

Buy it if you need it. Thanks for reading about pro features from their website. Looks like I don't need it.

Can u make tutorial ACF with free Elementor. U confused me with loops archives etc. thx

[currentmarketingtools]

I would love to see a way of building an EASY directory site with something better than the free HIVE theme. Any ideas?

[bluetheredpanda]

Speaking of a crippled plugin… I wish Admin Columns (free) was able to do just a little more, it would make life way easier when working with ACF.
Btw Paul, do you know an alternative or something with similar features?
