Excelent free option for ACF photo gallery field
I have been using ACF Photo Gallery Field for about 4 years now, and it worked excelent. I use it with Elementor Pro and custom templates, and I am able to access the dinamic data in the gallery field
Too buggy
Does not work inside ACF fields groups. Simply does not saving any selected images. Also, if a lot images was added, sometimes spontaneously losing all of them when saving the post. Updated 05.1
