<p>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 <em>theme</em> called <code>/acf-json/</code>. But I don’t like that.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This plugin is under active development on <a href="https://github.com/craigsimps/acf-pro-json-storage/" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a></p>
<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.

<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>The <a href="https://www.advancedcustomfields.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Advanced Custom Fields plugin</a> by <a href="https://www.elliotcondon.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Elliot Condon</a> is a fantastic resource for developers, allowing us to structure custom data and create a great user experience for data entry personnel.</p>
<p>The instruction text for ACF fields is useful, but creates visual clutter in the WordPress interface when there is a lot of instructional text. Thomas Meyer has created a great plugin to address this issue with his <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-tooltip/" rel="ugc">ACF Tooltip Plugin</a>. However, when using this plugin on implementations that have a large number of ACF fields, I have seen that performance drops and load-time of the WP Dashboard increases.</p>
<p>This plugin, ACF Simple Tooltip, is a lightweight solution that uses only two lines of JavaScript to add classes to ACF field labels which have instruction text. CSS takes care of the rest (creating the “info” ⓘ icon, styling the instruction text as a tooltip, and creating the hover functionality for showing the tooltip). Simply install the plugin, and the JS and CSS will enqueue on any post.php page in the WP Dashboard.</p>
<h3>Contact</h3>
<p>This is an initial version, so please contact me if you find any issues while using the plugin. Happy developing!</p>
