详情介绍:

Better Field Groups for ACF is a lightweight enhancement plugin that improves the editing experience for WordPress sites using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and also Secure Custom Fields (SCF). The plugin removes the small edit icons that appear in field group titles throughout the WordPress admin, creating a cleaner, more professional interface that reduces confusion and prevents accidental navigation to field group settings. When you're using ACF to create custom fields for your content types, each field group displays a small cogwheel/edit icon in its title bar. While useful for developers and site administrators, these icons can be distracting and potentially problematic when content editors and clients are working with posts and pages. Clicking these icons takes users to the field group configuration screen, which most content editors should never need to access. Better Field Groups for ACF solves this problem by completely hiding these edit icons site-wide on all post editing screens, while preserving all ACF functionality. The result is a cleaner, more focused editing experience that keeps content creators focused on their content rather than getting distracted by technical configuration options.

常见问题:

Why did you create Better Field Groups for ACF?

Better Field Groups for ACF was originally developed to address the lack of custom display titles for field groups that would show more user-friendly names to content editors. After waiting years for this feature to be added to Advanced Custom Fields, we developed our own solution. Ironically, shortly after we completed our plugin development, ACF released this exact feature in version 6.6! However, we discovered that many users still needed a way to completely remove edit icons for a cleaner interface, so we pivoted Better Field Groups for ACF to focus on this specific need that ACF doesn't address.

Does Better Field Groups for ACF work with both ACF Free and ACF Pro?

Yes! Better Field Groups for ACF works seamlessly with both the Free version and Pro version of Advanced Custom Fields. The plugin detects whichever version you have installed and applies the interface improvements automatically.

Does Better Field Groups for ACF work with Secure Custom Fields (SCF)?

Absolutely! Better Field Groups for ACF also works with Secure Custom Fields since SCF uses the same interface structure as Advanced Custom Fields. The plugin will detect either ACF or SCF and work accordingly.

Will Better Field Groups for ACF break my existing field groups or data?

No, Better Field Groups for ACF is completely safe and non-destructive. The plugin only adds CSS styling to hide edit icons - it doesn't modify any existing ACF functionality, database data, or field group configurations. You can activate and deactivate Better Field Groups for ACF safely with zero consequences to your content or field groups.

What happens to my edit icons if I deactivate Better Field Groups for ACF?

When you deactivate Better Field Groups for ACF, all edit icons will immediately become visible again exactly as they were before. No data is lost, no functionality is changed, and everything returns to the default ACF appearance instantly.

Does Better Field Groups for ACF interfere with field group management for administrators?

Better Field Groups for ACF only hides Field Group edit icons on post and page editing screens. Administrators and developers can still access field group settings through the normal ACF admin menu (Custom Fields > Field Groups). The plugin doesn't prevent access to field group management - it only removes the quick-edit icons from the content editing interface.

Can I still access field group settings after installing Better Field Groups for ACF?

Yes! Better Field Groups for ACF only removes the edit icons from post editing screens. You can still access all field group settings by going to Custom Fields > Field Groups in your WordPress admin menu. All ACF functionality remains completely intact and accessible.

Will Better Field Groups for ACF slow down my website?

No, Better Field Groups for ACF is designed for optimal performance. The plugin only loads a small amount of CSS on post editing screens in the admin area, and has zero impact on your website's frontend performance. It's one of the most lightweight ACF enhancement plugins available.

Does Better Field Groups for ACF work with custom post types?

Yes! Better Field Groups for ACF works with all post types including custom post types, pages, posts, and any other content type where ACF field groups are displayed. The clean interface improvement applies universally across your entire WordPress admin.

Is Better Field Groups for ACF compatible with other ACF addon plugins?

Better Field Groups for ACF is designed to be fully compatible with other ACF addon plugins and extensions. Since it only adds CSS to hide edit icons, it doesn't interfere with ACF's core functionality or other plugins that extend ACF capabilities.

Do I need to configure anything after installing Better Field Groups for ACF?

No configuration is needed! Better Field Groups for ACF works immediately upon activation. There are no settings pages, configuration options, or setup steps required. Simply activate the plugin and enjoy the cleaner editing interface right away.

Can I use Better Field Groups for ACF on multisite installations?

Yes, Better Field Groups for ACF works perfectly on WordPress multisite installations. You can network activate it to apply the improvements across all sites in your network, or activate it individually on specific sites as needed.

What if I only want to hide edit icons for certain user roles?

Currently, Better Field Groups for ACF hides edit icons for all users on post editing screens. Please open a support ticket if you want to see this in a future version.

Does Better Field Groups for ACF work with Gutenberg and Classic Editor?

How do I know if Better Field Groups for ACF is working?
