Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need ACF Pro?

Yes, this plugin requires Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Pro as it uses ACF’s JavaScript API for advanced field handling.

Does it work with nested repeater fields?

Yes! The plugin fully supports nested repeater fields with unlimited levels of nesting.

Can I copy between different WordPress sites?

Yes, the plugin supports cross-site copying using the system clipboard. Both sites need to have the plugin installed.

What’s the difference between full and partial copy?

Full copy includes all fields including media uploads (images, files, galleries). Partial copy excludes media files but copies all text and other field types.

Will it overwrite existing content?

No, the plugin adds content to existing fields rather than replacing them, preserving your current data.

Does it work with all ACF field types?

The plugin supports most ACF field types including text, textarea, select, checkbox, repeater, flexible content, group, image, gallery, and file fields.
