This ACF plugin makes it possible to store ACF data in structured database tables instead of WordPress core meta tables.
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.
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>.

<h4>Relational Fields</h4>
This plugin supports the following relational field types: Post Object, Page Link, Relationship, Taxonomy and User.
It can store both single and multiple values based on the <code>multiple</code> option.
<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>
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>. 
Here is an example:
Table:
<pre><code>+---------+-------------------+--------+
| post_id | title | stores |
+---------+-------------------+--------+
| 1 | Lord of the Flies | [1,2] |
| 2 | The Island | [2] |
| 3 | 1984 | [3] |
+---------+-------------------+--------+
</code></pre>
Query:
<pre><code>SELECT * FROM wp_acf_books WHERE JSON_CONTAINS(stores, 2, '$')
</code></pre>
The query above will return “Lord of the Flies” and “The Island”.
<h4>ACF Compatibility</h4>
This plugin was tested with ACF 5 FREE Version .

Custom Block Builder – Lazy Blocks

This plugin is excellent. That's what WordPress team should have done; but will never ever do. Luckily, there are skilled developers to build such needed features. Thanks for making it!

Simply excellent

Lazy Blocks is a great plugin working out of the box, with an amazing user interface and a lot of great options, allowing to build custom rich blocks very easily. 
It's build for developers and documentation is great too.

Almost perfect !

I really like the direction the new Site Editor in Wordpress is developing - building custom blocks for Gutenberg though can be a nightmare. With the Lazyblocks plugin on the other hand this could not be easier! I'm using it in many of my clients websites, when i quickly need to implement a feature using blocks.
And i couldn't help myself getting my hands on the Pro version just to support the development of this awesome piece of software. Full recommendation!

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Brilliant and useful tool!


We have made some advanced blocks mixed with custom PHP functionality and this plugin has saved us a tremendous amount of time. Highly recommend for devs and non devs.


Fantastic Plugin For Developers

Easily create custom blocks and custom meta fields for Gutenberg without hard coding.
