Overview
This plugin requires the plugin “Advanced Custom Fields” (ACF) to work.
Use this plugin to show ACF fields in the “All Posts”, Taxonomy or User table view in the WordPress admin backend.
Simply enable the new option “Admin Column” in your ACF field settings for any regular field (see exceptions below), and optionally set the columns position and width. Now there will be an extra column for your field shown in any overview of built-in or custom posts, pages, taxonomies (e.g. “All Pages”), and users.
You can use filters (see below) to control the plugins behaviour even more precisely.
Works on any regular ACF field (see exceptions below).
Compatible with Advanced Custom Fields 5.x and 6.x.

Perfect! No need for Admin Columns Pro
by WhiteX3·1 year ago
I just wanted to say big thanks to the developer for this useful plugin. This was so easy to do. I was considering Admin Columns Pro but I honestly don’t need any of those extras – just to show related services on admin side.
I had a problem with the plugin not showing all services, only one + x more, but searching through support tickets I found the solution here: support/topic/show-all-values-instead-of-and-x-more/ Done and done! Thanks so much!
Works like a charm

It does what it promises, recommended!
Adds toggle – super easy
by MaryMak·1 year ago
This was so quick to add and very helpful to see certain fields in the admin.
Great tool – Quick Edit?
by raidpixels·1 year ago
Great tool, works as it should. For free!
One useful addition would be the ability to add the ACF fields to the Quick Edit dialog.
No longer maintained?
by pebweb·1 year ago·1 reply
Too bad it would have been exactly what I was looking for. But the plugin is probably no longer maintained, with WP 6.6.2 the thing no longer makes any noise.
Edit: Don’t know why, but now it works great.
