xfive Plato – Reliable Sync Watcher for ACF

“The man who makes the best use of his time is the one who will be able to offer the most help to others.” – Plato, The Republic

xfive Plato – Reliable Sync Watcher for ACF is designed for teams of developers collaborating on WordPress projects that use ACF’s acf-json feature.

This plugin monitors your local JSON files for any Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) field groups that are out of sync with the site’s database and displays a clear, timely notice when discrepancies are detected. This helps prevent accidental overwrites, missed updates, and frustrating merge conflicts during development.

You’ll still have the option to ignore the warning if needed—but only proceed if you’re confident in what you’re doing and understand the risks of overriding field group data!

Whether you’re working solo or as part of a team, xfive Plato – Reliable Sync Watcher for ACF adds a simple but powerful layer of protection to your ACF workflow—so you can code with confidence and keep your field groups in harmony.
