<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.

<p>If an ACF field requires a longer instruction text, the layout of the edit screen is messy and a lot of space is wasted.</p>
<p>The ACF Tooltip plugin hides the field instructions, adds a help symbol to the field labels and generates a tooltip based on the instruction text.</p>
<h4>New in Version 1.2.0</h4>
<p>The tooltip will not hide if moused over, allowing create a tooltip with a link inside without hiding the tooltip.</p>
<h4>Custom settings</h4>
<p>There are 7 filters that allow adjusting the design and the behavior of the tooltips.</p>
<p><strong>This plugin works only with the <a href="https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/pro/" rel="nofollow ugc">ACF PRO</a> (version 5.5.0 or higher).</strong></p>
<h4>Localizations</h4>

<h3>Custom settings with filter hooks</h3>
<p>There are 7 filters that allow adjusting the design and the behavior of the tooltips can be adjusted.</p>
<h4>Set the design of the tooltips</h4>
<pre><code><?php
function acf_tooltip_style() {
    $style = 'qtip-acf';

    return $style;
}
add_filter('acf/tooltip/style', 'acf_tooltip_style');
?>
</code></pre>
<p>The available styles can be found on the <a href="http://qtip2.com/options#style" rel="nofollow ugc">qTip options page</a> and are shown on the <a href="http://qtip2.com/demos/" rel="nofollow ugc">qTip demo site</a>.</p>
<p>You can mix the styles; e.g. “qtip-acf qtip-rounded qtip-shadow”</p>
<p>If you like, you can define your own style, with the class name of your style from your own CSS file (see next filter).</p>
<p>The qtip-acf style is the standard style, which is set without a filter.</p>
<h4>Define your own CSS file</h4>
<pre><code><?php
function acf_tooltip_css() {
    $css_file = get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/qtip-own.css'; // if the file is saved in your themes folder

    return $css_file;
}
add_filter('acf/tooltip/css', 'acf_tooltip_css');
?>
</code></pre>
<p>You will find a ‘qtip-example-style.css’ in the ‘/assets/css’ folder.</p>
<h4>Positioning the corner of the tooltip</h4>
<pre><code><?php
function acf_tooltip_position_my() {
    $position_my = 'center left';

    return $position_my;
}
add_filter('acf/tooltip/position/my', 'acf_tooltip_position_my');
?>
</code></pre>
<h4>Position in relation to the tooltip icon</h4>
<pre><code><?php
function acf_tooltip_position_at() {
    $position_at = 'center right';

    return $position_at;
}
add_filter('acf/tooltip/position/at', 'acf_tooltip_position_at');
?>
</code></pre>
<p>Check out the <a href="http://qtip2.com/demos/" rel="nofollow ugc">qTip demo site</a> to find your perfect positioning.</p>
<h4>Apply tooltips only to fields with specific class</h4>
<pre><code><?php
function acf_tooltip_class() {
    $class = 'with__tooltip'; // edit this to your prefered class name

    return $class;
}
add_filter('acf/tooltip/class/only', 'acf_tooltip_class');
?>
</code></pre>
<p>Add the class to the fields where you want to show tooltips.</p>
<h4>Exclude tooltips on fields with specific class</h4>
<pre><code><?php
function acf_tooltip_class_exclude() {
    $class = 'no__tooltip'; // edit this to your prefered class name

    return $class;
}
add_filter('acf/tooltip/class/exclude', 'acf_tooltip_class_exclude');
?>
</code></pre>
<p>Add the class to the fields where you <em>don’t</em> want to show tooltips.</p>
<h4>Add tooltips to the Field Editor</h4>
<p>With this filter, you can specify whether the instructions in the Field Editor are displayed as tooltips as well. By default, the instructions are displayed.</p>
<pre><code><?php
add_filter('acf/tooltip/fieldeditor', '__return_true');
?>
</code></pre>


ACF Tooltip

Great plugin! Does the job well. However, a bit heavy; for large use cases where you have many ACF fields, I have seen a significant performance drop in the WP dashboard and increased load times.

Excellent!
