Options Pages and Site-wide Fields with ACF
Clients and site builders want the ability to update sitewide information, toggle features on & off, and have it seamlessly integrated into the WordPress admin area.
WordPress core offers the APIs to register custom Admin pages and you could certainly attempt to hook up your own painstaking form with validation and sanitization of values, or you can just choose your field types and assign them in ACF and save tons of time!
Options pages are a great way to offer clients a dashboard to manage and update sitewide information, and it is now easier than ever to create options pages (and subpages) with ACF PRO.
In this workshop you’ll learn:
✔️ The differences between WordPress’s settings and options APIs and ACF PRO’s Options Pages and fields, including examples of each.
✔️ The different ways to register and add ACF PRO Options Pages: code and no-code (coming soon in ACF PRO 6.2!).
✔️ How to create a new sitewide settings page with ACF PRO’s new Options Page registration interface.
✔️ How to render options page fields in theme template files.
