This plugin requires the plugin “Advanced Custom Fields” (ACF) to work.
Use this plugin to show ACF fields in the “All Posts”, Taxonomy or User table view in the WordPress admin backend.
Simply enable the new option “Admin Column” in your ACF field settings for any regular field (see exceptions below), and optionally set the columns position and width. Now there will be an extra column for your field shown in any overview of built-in or custom posts, pages, taxonomies (e.g. “All Pages”), and users.
You can use filters (see below) to control the plugins behaviour even more precisely.
Works on any regular ACF field (see exceptions below).
Compatible with Advanced Custom Fields 5.x and 6.x.
