Overview

This add-on lets you render ACF field groups inside BuddyForms so users can create and edit content from the frontend—while keeping ACF-powered meta in sync.

Highlights
– Works with ACF Free and PRO (ACF must be installed separately).
– Map ACF field groups to BuddyForms forms for frontend create/edit.
– Supports common ACF field types (text, textarea, select, checkbox, date, color, maps, etc.).
– BuddyForms Moderation support for review/approval workflows.
– BuddyPress integration: sync selected ACF fields with xProfile.

Note: This plugin integrates with Advanced Custom Fields; it does not bundle any ACF code or assets.
