<p>This ACF plugin makes it possible to store ACF data in structured database tables instead of WordPress core meta tables.</p>
<p>It uses ACF’s <code>acf/update_field_group</code> hook to create/update the database and then uses <code>acf/save_post</code> hook to store the data.</p>
<p>It was heavily inspired by Austin Ginder’s post <a href="https://anchor.host/acf-custom-fields-stored-in-custom-table/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://anchor.host/acf-custom-fields-stored-in-custom-table/</a>.</p>

<h4>Relational Fields</h4>
<p>This plugin supports the following relational field types: Post Object, Page Link, Relationship, Taxonomy and User.</p>
<p>It can store both single and multiple values based on the <code>multiple</code> option.</p>
<ul>
<li>If it’s a single value field, then the column type will be <code>bigint(20) unsigned</code></li>
<li>If it’s a multiple value field, then the column type will be longtext and the date will be stored in json format.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can query relational fields with multiple values using using MySQL’s function <a href="https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/json-search-functions.html#function_json-contains" rel="nofollow ugc">JSON_CONTAINS</a>.<br />
Here is an example:</p>
<p>Table:</p>
<pre><code>+---------+-------------------+--------+
| post_id |       title       | stores |
+---------+-------------------+--------+
|       1 | Lord of the Flies | [1,2]  |
|       2 | The Island        | [2]    |
|       3 | 1984              | [3]    |
+---------+-------------------+--------+
</code></pre>
<p>Query:</p>
<pre><code>SELECT * FROM wp_acf_books WHERE JSON_CONTAINS(stores, 2, '$')
</code></pre>
<p>The query above will return “Lord of the Flies” and “The Island”.</p>
<h4>ACF Compatibility</h4>
<p>This plugin was tested with <em>ACF 5 FREE Version</em> .</p>


ACF: Fields in Custom Table

Stores ACF custom fields in a custom table instead of WordPress core meta tables.

<h3>What does it do?</h3>
<p>This plugin does nothing else than to use the internal export function of ACF to filter the data from your main page. After that all fieldgroups of your subpage will be deleted and re-imported. So it’s more of a hack than a real sync.</p>
<p>This has the consequence that the ID integer of your posts shoots pretty in height with frequent use. But that doesn’t really matter I think.</p>
