(If you’re literally learning ACF for the first time, go read the documentation you’ll need a basic understanding to go from here.) What You Need: ACF and the Repeater Fieldīelieve it or not, ACF is free out of the box. Out of the box, it lets you display a Google Map where the user can enter an address and have it appear on the map.īut there’s a lot of customization you can do, including a map with multiple pins (markers) that display more than one location.

It’s a WordPress plugin we literally use in almost every site we build now. Long story short (or expect to read about it an upcoming post), Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) allows us to build intuitive custom fields for the themes and sites we develop, including everything from photo galleries and text areas to date pickers and option menus.
Given all of the Tools We Use posts we’ve written, it’s surprising we haven’t yet touched on Advanced Custom Fields - one of the most powerful and important tools we have in our arsenal.
