ACF Views Pro 1.9.12

ACF Views Pro (also known as Advanced Views Pro) is a powerful WordPress plugin designed to solve the "display" problem for Advanced Custom Fields. While the core ACF plugin is excellent at creating data fields, it usually requires you to write PHP code to show that data on your website.

ACF Views Pro eliminates that coding requirement by allowing you to create dynamic templates and grids using a visual interface.

## Key Features of the Pro Version

The Pro version extends the free "Lite" plugin by adding support for more complex data structures and advanced layout options:

No-Code Templates: Create "Views" for your ACF fields without touching PHP or theme files. You select the fields you want to show, and the plugin generates a shortcode or Gutenberg block for you.

Complex Field Support: Full support for high-end ACF Pro fields:

Repeater Fields: Display repeatable lists (like team members or price lists) in structured layouts.

Flexible Content: Render complex, modular page sections visually.

Relationship Fields: Easily pull in and display data from linked posts or users.

Dynamic Grids & Sliders: Turn your custom post data into beautiful Masonry grids, carousels, or sliders with built-in styling options.

Twig Engine Integration: For developers, it uses the Twig templating engine under the hood, allowing for clean, manageable, and high-performance markup.

Meta & Taxonomy Filters: Add live filters to your lists so users can sort your custom data (e.g., filter a "Car" post type by "Price" or "Brand").

AJAX Pagination: Load more items or navigate through pages without a full browser refresh.

### How It Works

Create the View: Go to ACF Views > Add New.

Select Fields: Choose which ACF fields you want to include in this specific layout.

Choose a Layout: Select from built-in templates like a list, grid, or single-column view.

Publish & Place: Copy the generated shortcode (e.g., [acf_views view-id="123"]) and paste it into any page, or use the ACF View Block in the Gutenberg editor.

### Pricing & Requirements

Requirement: You must have Advanced Custom Fields (Free or Pro) installed for this to function.

Pricing: The Pro version typically starts around $32–$49/year for a single site, though "Developer" and "Agency" licenses are available for unlimited sites.
