Advanced Custom Fields: Extended (ACF Extended) is a comprehensive enhancement suite designed to boost WordPress and Advanced Custom Fields. Created by Konrad Chmielewski, this plugin has become an essential tool for developers, agencies, and teams building custom field-based websites that need more control, organization, and efficiency in the admin panel.

The plugin adds more than 14 new ACF fields and improves over 10 existing fields, significantly expanding the customization possibilities of any WordPress project. Notable features include new field group locations, bidirectional and self-referential fields, advanced field validation, and the ability to transform Flexible Content into a true page builder. It also includes an advanced front-end forms manager, an options pages and block types manager, as well as an overview of ACF and WordPress metadata.

The Pro version takes it even further with over 20 additional fields, a payment field integrated with Stripe and PayPal Express, a grid system for Flexible Content, layout location rules, template manager, integrated classic editor, configuration interface, screen layouts, forced JSON sync, and global conditional rules for fields. Performance mode optimizes metadata to efficiently handle large volumes of information.

ACF Extended also includes managers for WordPress content types and taxonomies, a system options manager, and general admin panel improvements. It offers multilingual support with WPML and Polylang, making it a complete solution for international projects. With over 100,000 active installations, it is a proven tool backed by an active developer community.

This plugin is designed for those already working with ACF Pro who want to take their projects to the next level, reducing manual tasks and gaining productivity in every workflow.
