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.

Herron

<p><strong>Post Content Shortcode</strong> allows you to display the content of any post using a shortcode like:</p>
<p>[post_content id=”123″]</p>
<p>This is useful for reusing content in multiple places, referencing another post inline, or including dynamically updated blocks of content.</p>
<p>You can configure which post statuses are allowed to be embedded from the plugin’s settings page under <strong>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Post Content Shortcode</strong>.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Use the shortcode like this:</p>
<p>[post_content id=”123″]</p>
<p>Where <code>123</code> is the ID of the post you want to embed.</p>
<p>To avoid infinite loops, the plugin prevents a post from including itself.</p>
<p>Only posts with selected <strong>statuses</strong> (e.g. Published, Draft) will be rendered. You can control this from the plugin settings page.</p>
<h3>Customizing the Shortcode Tag</h3>
<p>By default, the shortcode tag is <code>post_content</code>. You can change it by adding this to your theme’s <code>functions.php</code> file:</p>
<p>add_filter( ‘herron_pcs_shortcode_tag’, function( $tag ) {<br />
    return ‘my_custom_shortcode’;<br />
});</p>
<p>After doing so, use the new tag:</p>
<p>[my_custom_shortcode id=”123″]</p>
<p>The settings page and all logic will automatically respect this change.</p>
