Advanced Custom Fields 6 - What's New & What's Changed?

Advanced Custom Fields 6 is almost ready for release, so let's take a look at what's changed and what you can expect from the new version.

Advanced Custom Fields is one of the most popular WordPress plugins to help you create custom meta fields and apply them to your website without having to mess around with code.

Since WP Engine bought Advanced Custom Fields from Delicious Brains earlier this year, this is the first major update they've released.

Thanks for the advanced look Paul. Looks good to me. Moved from JetEngine to ACF and have found a better UI, better performance, less bugs and a more stable product in general.

Like these updates. Thanks for the review, Paul.

Just upgraded to v6+ and yeah wasn't sure about the new look and feel but it ain't bad. I thought that maybe some admin CSS was conflicting with theirs but now as I watch your video I see they just went with some oddly aligned and cramped styling with this new refresh. Loving ACF blocks. Would love to see some tips, tricks, techniques videos about those. Thanks for the video!

Great plugin! Love the updated interface!

Thanks for this. It would be VERY helpful if you went back to your earlier tuturuals and mentioned this a new user to ACF would be totally lost trying to follow your directions and give up on your channell. IMHO it would be VERY helpful to know.

Required field does add an indication - the asterisk next to the field title, as before.

THANKS, Paul - for excellent videos! I noticed that you are using an interesting external pointing device - do you mind sharing what product that is? THANKS again.

love the updated interface, i personally love the tabbed way of working but understand it can take a bit of getting used to... wish jetengine would make it this way i'm always scrolling lol

Hi, Paul thanks for all your work. Can you integrate 6.0 with Oxygen Builder in terms of location rules and choose an oxygen template or is that still not possible?

[EkkiKakinaki]

Will it be possible to store values in separate database tables?

Thanks for the review Paul.
It looks like there is a red * next to the field's label name, after you switched on the validation. ;)

why build a page with this instead of elementor?

[erehro]

I hate it when the plugins like ACF or Ninja Forms had UI that looked like native wordpress and then decided to completely redesign it just to look different...

"only cosmetic changes"... Aaaand I'm out
