Formidable ACF

Sites that rely on custom fields often end up with two separate places to manage data: the ACF field groups and the forms visitors fill out. Formidable ACF brings them together. You can map ACF fields to form inputs, so a form can show data that already exists and send new data back to the custom fields when someone submits it.

Setup happens inside the familiar Formidable Forms builder, which keeps form changes quick even for people who are not developers. Developers get hooks and filters for custom behavior. The add-on suits sites with detailed data structures, such as user profiles, customer feedback forms and multi-step workflows.

Features

• ACF and Formidable Forms connection: Connect Advanced Custom Fields to Formidable Forms and manage custom fields directly from your forms, which cuts down on handling complex data in two separate places.
• Two-way field mapping: ACF data syncs to form inputs and form inputs sync back to ACF, so forms can be pre-filled and submissions update your custom fields without manual entry.
• Support for all ACF field types: Work with the full range of ACF field types, including text, select, repeater and gallery, to build forms that match the structure of your data.
• Familiar form builder interface: Manage and customize ACF form fields inside the Formidable Forms builder, so setup and later changes stay simple for non-technical users.
• Conditional logic compatibility: Apply conditional logic to ACF-connected fields to show or hide form elements based on what the user enters, giving each visitor a more relevant form.
• Frontend editing of ACF data: Let users update existing ACF data through forms on the frontend, so content changes do not require access to the WordPress admin.
• Developer hooks and filters: A developer-friendly API offers hooks and filters for extending functionality and adjusting form behavior to fit unusual or complex project requirements.
• Built for large data sets: The add-on is designed to handle large data sets efficiently, which helps forms stay usable on sites with heavy usage.

Best for

• Sites already using ACF and Formidable Forms together
• Developers building forms around custom data structures
• Sites needing frontend forms that edit existing content
