Blocks for ACF Fields lets you effortlessly load and display
Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or
Secure Custom Fields (SCF) inside the WordPress block editor using a single, flexible block. Whether you're dealing with text, images, URLs, or complex field types, this plugin makes it simple — all without writing a single line of code.
How to Use it
Just create your custom fields with the ACF or SCF plugin, then open the WordPress block editor. Add the "ACF Field" block to your page or template, select the field you want to display from the dropdown, and you are done! Your custom field will now appear right inside the editor, exactly where you want it.

Features
- No Code Needed – Display your ACF & SCF fields directly in the editor without building a custom block.
- One Block for All Fields – Load almost any field type using just a single, versatile block.
- Smart Field Picker – No need to type field names. Choose from a dropdown that automatically shows only the ACF & SCF fields available for the post, page, or template you're editing.

In addition to choosing which field to display, you also have control over how it appears. Text-based fields (including multiple-value fields like Select or Checkbox) can be shown as plain text or formatted with typography options. Image fields can be displayed as actual images with the same styling options as core Image blocks. For URL-return fields (such as Link or Post Object), you can render them as clickable buttons that automatically match your theme's design.
With this flexibility, the plugin supports most commonly used field types right out of the box. Here's the full list of supported fields:

In addition to the wide variety of field types, you also have control over where your fields are sourced from. This makes it easy to connect content dynamically based on the template you're editing.
- Post (any post type) – Load fields attached to the post you're currently editing, whether it's a post, page, or any custom post type.
- Option – Pull global option fields, perfect for site-wide settings like logos, contact info, or social links.
