ACF On-The-Go lets site editors update Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) text and textarea field values right on the page where they appear, without opening WP-Admin.
- Edit your ACF text fields from the front-end of your website.
- Save time looking for the field in WP-Admin.
- See immediate results in the front-end.
- Changes are written straight to the database, so nothing is lost between the front-end edit and the admin view.
- Access is limited to logged-in users who can already edit the post being viewed.
- Developer & User friendly.
1.0.2
Release date: August 5th, 2026
- Security: full plugin audit confirmed the AJAX save handler is the only endpoint that accepts input, and it enforces both nonce verification and a per-post capability check.
- Version bump for WordPress.org relisting following the security review.
- Security: added nonce verification and per-post capability checks to the front-end save request.
- Security: escaped all dynamic front-end output to prevent stored XSS.
- Tested up to WordPress 7.0.2
- Fixed a text domain mismatch that prevented translations from loading correctly.
- Removed the manual textdomain loading call in favor of WordPress.org's automatic translation loading.
- Localized the front-end dialog's "Update" and "Close" button labels, which were previously hardcoded in English.
- Fixed a front-end JavaScript error that prevented the save dialog from closing and the success/no-change notice from appearing after a save (the response was parsed twice).
- Added support for Secure Custom Fields, the actively maintained successor to Advanced Custom Fields, as a recognized dependency.
- General code cleanup and WordPress Coding Standards fixes.
