I use Advanced Custom Fields 5 Pro for most custom WordPress projects, and the latest version supports saving your Field Groups to JSON. To activate this functionality out of the box, all you have to do is create a folder within your theme called <code>/acf-json/</code>. But I don’t like that.
I prefer for these JSON files to be stored outside of the theme, because they’re key to the functionality of the website, and <code>functionality === plugin</code>. Storing this data outside of your WordPress theme makes it inherently more portable, and means you can retain the ACF JSON data even if you change theme.
Once the plugin is installed and activate it will automatically save field groups as JSON within the plugin’s <code>/acf-json/</code> folder when they are updated or saved.
This plugin is under active development on <a href="https://github.com/craigsimps/acf-pro-json-storage/" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>ACF 5 Pro (Synchronized JSON requires at least v5.1.5)</li>
</ul>

ACF 5 Pro JSON Storage

Save ACF 5 Pro custom fields as JSON within this plugin, rather than inside your theme.

With the ACF Columns plugin it is possible to arrange ACF fields in column groups in the post editor.
Conditional Logic can now be used over different columns with the new ACF 5.7
For each column add a Column Field to your field group and define the width for this column. You can select between 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, etc. columns. To close a row you have to add a Column Field with the value ‘Reset’.
This plugin works only with the <a href="https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/pro/" rel="nofollow ugc">ACF PRO</a> (version 5.4.0 or higher).
