AgilePress

<p>AgilePress Content Block for ACF is a versatile tool developed by <a href="https://agilepress.net" rel="nofollow ugc">AgilePress</a> that allows you to create dynamic HTML content with Advanced Custom Fields integration. It supports four powerful syntaxes for different ACF field types:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Simple fields</strong>: Use <code>{field_name}</code> for text, number, and other simple fields</li>
<li><strong>Group fields</strong>: Use <code>{group_name:sub_field_name}</code> to access fields within ACF groups</li>
<li><strong>Repeaters & Galleries</strong>: Use <code>{{repeater_name}}</code> HTML content with <code>{sub_field}</code> tags <code>{{/repeater_name}}</code> to loop through repeater fields and image galleries</li>
<li><strong>Conditionals</strong>: Use <code>{{#if field}}...{{/if}}</code> for conditional content display with support for <code>=</code> and <code>!=</code> comparisons</li>
</ul>
<p>This block is perfect for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Displaying custom field data in formatted HTML</li>
<li>Creating dynamic templates with ACF fields</li>
<li>Building complex layouts that pull data from custom fields</li>
<li>Looping through repeater fields and image galleries</li>
<li>Accessing nested group field data</li>
<li>Showing/hiding content based on field values</li>
<li>Integrating ACF data seamlessly into your content</li>
</ul>
<p>The block provides an intuitive sidebar editor where you can write HTML and insert ACF field tags. On the frontend, these tags are automatically replaced with the actual values from your Advanced Custom Fields.</p>

AgilePress Content Block for ACF

Display ACF content using custom tags in HTML with support for groups, repeaters, galleries, and conditionals.

Jose Mortellaro

<p>Normally, if a web page is served by the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/cache/" rel="ugc">cache</a>, its content will be always the same until the cache is deleted.</p>
<p>By adding the content with the shortcode provided by Content No Cache, you will be able to show dynamic content even on pages served by cache.</p>
<p>You don’t need this plugin to exclude the entire page from the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/cache/" rel="ugc">cache</a>.<br />
This plugin is to exclude a part of the page from the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/cache/" rel="ugc">cache</a>. It’s useful if you need to cache a page, but part of that page should not be cached.</p>
<p>Imagine you have a page that has this content:</p>
<p>Hello this is some text.<br />
Another line of text<br />
Another line of text<br />
Current day: Monday</p>
<p>if that page is served by cache, the user will always see:</p>
<p>Hello this is some text.<br />
Another line of text<br />
Another line of text<br />
Current day: Monday</p>
<p>If you need that the last line of text is always updated, this plugin will help you.<br />
The entire page will be served by the cache, but the plugin will get the updated content that you need.</p>
<h3>How to show dynamic content with full page cache</h3>
<ul>
<li>Install Content No Cache</li>
<li>Create a new element “Content No Cache”</li>
<li>Add to that element all the content that you want to exclude from the cache</li>
<li>Copy the shortcode that you will see in the section “Shortcode”. It will look like [content_no_cache id=”3328″]. The parameter “id” is the ID of the content element (in this example 3328).</li>
<li>Add the shortcode to the page where you want to display that content.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Main features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Ultralightweight plugin. The few lines of code will run only where you add the shortcode.</li>
<li>No jQuery, no JS libraries, only a couple of lines of pure JavaScript</li>
<li>No database queries, no extra HTTP requests for external assets, no bloat</li>
<li>With a few line of ultralight code you can fully cache the page even if you need dynamic content on that page</li>
<li>It provides a shortcode, so you can add it everywhere, no matter the builder</li>
</ul>
<h3>Tips to speed up the process to get the content</h3>
<ul>
<li>Install <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/freesoul-deactivate-plugins/" rel="ugc">Freesoul Deactivate Plugins</a></li>
<li>Go to Freesoul Deactivate Plugins => Actions => Content No Cache</li>
<li>Disable all the plugins that you don’t need to output the content</li>
</ul>
<h3>Example</h3>
<p>You can see Content No Cache in action visiting the blog post <a href="https://josemortellaro.com/exclude-specific-content-from-being-cached/" rel="nofollow ugc">Exclude specific content from being cached</a>.<br />
You will see a number that is always different when you refresh the page. But the page is served by full page cache.<br />
In the example it’s just a number, but you can output whatever content you want.</p>
<h3>Possible conflicts</h3>
<p>Some plugins don’t load the shortcodes during ajax requests. Because Content No Cache retrieves the content through ajax, in those cases the content will not be displayed properly.<br />
If you have this kind of issue set the parameter request=”remote”. In this case the shortcode will look like [content_no_cache id=”3328″ request=”remote”]<br />
The plugin will retrieve the content in a different way that will be a little slower, but this will solve this kind of conflict.</p>

Content No Cache | Serve uncached partial content even when you add it to a page that is fully cached.

I'm the author, but also a user of this plugin. I solved some serious problems with this plugin, so I will give it a 5 stars review.

By the author

Nice, simple, working as expected, what else can anyone can say?

I just wish there would be a better (and easier way) to trigger the no cache policy, like having a custom CSS class imposing the no cache for a block or div for those who use the Classic editor. Actually even better would be if each block (core or third party) having no cache checkbox on the sidebar.

Nevertheless, for me, for my specific needs, this gets the job done, and some !

Does one thing and it does it really well.


I use this to display "Latest post X hour ago"



It's being cached and sometimes inaccurate. This plugins fix it.



Good job Jose


Works like a charm
