Admin Columns for ACF Fields

This plugin requires the plugin “Advanced Custom Fields” (ACF) to work. Use this plugin to show ACF fields in the “All Posts”, “All Pages”, Taxonomy or User table view in the WordPress admin backend. Simply enable the new option “Admin Column” in your ACF field settings for any regular field (see exceptions below), and optionally set the columns position and width. Now there will be an extra column for your field shown in any overview of built-in or custom posts, pages, taxonomies (e.g. “All Pages”), and users. You can use filters (see below) to control the plugins behaviour even more precisely. Works on any regular ACF field (see exceptions below). Compatible with Advanced Custom Fields 5.x and 6.x. Github: https://github.com/fleiflei/acf-admin-columns If you like this plugin please kindly leave your review and feedback here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-columns-for-acf-fields/#reviews Usage: Install ACF and this plugin (see below) In ACF open/create a “field group” and open any field for editing (see exceptions below). Enable the “Admin Column” option in the field settings. Specify the desired column position (optional). Specify the desired column width (optional). Save the field group and go to the “All posts” view of the post type or taxonomy (e.g. “Posts > All Posts”, or “Pages > All Pages”) and notice the newly added column for your field.
