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>
