**ACF Theme Code Pro** is a high-productivity developer tool designed to bridge the gap between creating custom fields in the WordPress admin and writing the PHP code needed to display them in your theme files.
While the free version of "ACF Theme Code" is available on WordPress.org, the **Pro** version (developed by Hookturn) adds support for complex field types and advanced locations.

### Key Features of the Pro Version
The primary value of this plugin is that it **automatically generates ready-to-use PHP snippets** for every field you create.
* **Support for Complex Fields:** Unlike the free version, Pro generates the logic for:
* **Repeater Fields:** Automatically builds the `while( have_rows() )` loops.
* **Flexible Content:** Generates the entire `if( get_row_layout() )` switch/case structure.
* **Gallery & Clone Fields:** Handles the array loops and sub-field logic.
* **Location Registration Tool:** It includes a tool to generate the PHP code required to register **ACF Blocks** and **Options Pages**, so you don't have to write the boilerplate from scratch.
* **Context-Aware Snippets:** It detects where your field group is assigned. If it's assigned to a "User," "Taxonomy Term," or "Options Page," it automatically adds the correct second parameter to the functions (e.g., `get_field('field_name', 'user_1')`).
* **Third-Party Support:** It generates code for popular third-party ACF fields like the Font Awesome field or various Map extensions.

### Why Developers Use It
1. **Speed:** It turns minutes of manual coding and documentation-checking into a 5-second copy-paste job.
2. **Accuracy:** It uses the exact field names you’ve just typed, eliminating typos that cause "broken" templates.
3. **Best Practices:** The code it generates includes proper escaping (like `esc_html()`) and follows official ACF documentation standards.

### How to Use It
1. **Install & Activate:** You must have **Advanced Custom Fields (Free or Pro)** installed first.
2. **Create Fields:** Edit or create a Field Group in the ACF menu.
3. **Scroll Down:** Below your list of fields, you will see a new **"Theme Code"** section.
4. **Copy & Paste:** As you save your fields, this section updates instantly. You can copy individual snippets or use the "Copy All" button to grab the entire template structure for your `.php` file.
### Pricing
The plugin is typically sold as a yearly subscription:
* **Single Site:** ~$48–$49/year.
* **Developer (Unlimited):** Often around $80–$100+/year.
