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.

<h3>Source Code</h3>
This plugin uses compiled and minified JavaScript and CSS files built with webpack and npm.
The full unminified source code is publicly available at: https://github.com/litonarefin/adminify-free
To build from source:
<ol>
<li>Clone the repository</li>
<li>Run <code>npm install</code></li>
<li>Run <code>npm run build</code></li>
</ol>
<h3>External services</h3>
Adminify relies on the following third-party / external services. Each entry describes what the service is, what data is sent, when it happens, and links to the provider’s terms and privacy policy.
Freemius 
Adminify uses the Freemius SDK to handle plugin licensing and updates (and, for the premium version, account management). Validating a license or checking for updates sends your license key, site URL, basic environment details (WordPress and PHP versions) and the plugin version to Freemius. Any anonymous usage data is shared only if you choose to opt in.
<ul>
<li>Triggered: on activation, license actions and update checks.</li>
<li><a href="https://freemius.com/terms/" rel="nofollow ugc">Freemius Terms</a> | <a href="https://freemius.com/privacy/" rel="nofollow ugc">Freemius Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
Optional usage diagnostics (Pixar Labs) 
This is OFF by default. Only if a site administrator explicitly opts in by clicking “Allow” on the “What we collect” admin notice does Adminify send the administrator email address and basic, non-sensitive site information (for example WordPress version, active plugins and site name) to help us understand how the plugin is used and improve it. Nothing is sent unless you opt in.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: administrator email and basic site information — only after you click “Allow”.</li>
<li>Triggered: only on the explicit “Allow” opt-in; never automatically.</li>
<li><a href="https://pixarlabs.com/terms-of-use" rel="nofollow ugc">Pixar Labs Terms</a> | <a href="https://pixarlabs.com/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Pixar Labs Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
Google Fonts (optional local font hosting) 
When you select a Google font and save Adminify settings, the plugin downloads the chosen font files from Google so they can be served locally from your own site (better privacy and performance). This only happens when you save settings with a Google font selected.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: the requested font family and weights via a standard HTTP GET to Google Fonts. No personal data is sent.</li>
<li>Triggered: when you save Adminify settings with a Google font selected.</li>
