Description
By default, ACF Flexible Content fields are expanded when you load an edit screen in the WordPress admin. This can lead to a cluttered interface and excessive scrolling, especially on pages with many complex layouts.
This plugin solves that problem with a simple, lightweight solution. It automatically collapses all Flexible Content layouts upon page load, giving content editors a clean and organized overview. Editors can then expand only the specific layouts they need to work on.
This is a “set it and forget it” plugin with no settings required. Simply activate it, and it works.
Note: This plugin requires the Advanced Custom Fields PRO plugin to be installed and active, as Flexible Content fields are a pro-only feature.
