Excelent free option for ACF photo gallery field
by tazmandev·3 months ago

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 fields just like with ACF Pro.
Many thanks to the builder for this excelent plugin!

Too buggy
by qbey·1 year ago·4 replies

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 05.13.2024. Changed rating to 1 star. Details below.

Great solution! It works perfectly! thanks Devs!
