Advanced Custom Fields Options Page Addon

Overview

The Options Page feature allows you to create custom admin pages in WordPress to manage ACF fields. Each options page can be fully customized, and you can also create sub-admin pages.

All data saved on an options page is global, meaning it is not tied to a specific post or page. Instead, the data is stored in the wp_options table, allowing it to be accessed and displayed anywhere on your site—for example, in headers, footers, or other templates.

Requirements

• ACF PRO (v5) for the options page feature.

• Options Page Addon (v4) if using ACF v4.

Basic Usage

To create an options page, simply add the necessary code to your theme’s functions.php file. This will register the page and allow you to assign ACF fields to it.

Note:

• The ACF v4 Options Page add-on automatically adds the default options page.

• For ACF PRO, you must manually add the default options page if required.

• All functions should be executed before the admin_menu action (priority 99) to ensure the options pages are correctly registered in WordPress.

Use Cases

• Manage site-wide settings like header and footer content.

• Store global variables accessible across posts, pages, or templates.

• Create reusable admin pages for client-friendly site management.
