Advanced Custom Fields Remote Sync 1.0.0
Description
Advanced Custom Fields Remote Sync is a WordPress plugin built for Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) users who need to transfer field groups between websites quickly. Instead of exporting JSON files or performing database migrations, it syncs ACF field groups directly from the WordPress admin. The extension provides a remote field group view so you can browse field groups on other sites, then import the ones you need into your local database.
It also supports pushing field groups from one site to another through quick links and bulk actions. This makes it useful for fast, repeatable multisite and multi-environment workflows where field structures must stay consistent across staging, production, and client sites.
Main Features
- Remote field group browser — View ACF field groups from connected sites within the WordPress admin.
- Site switching — Switch between sites to select the correct remote field groups.
- Remote-to-local import — Import chosen field groups into the local database without manual exports.
- Push field groups between sites — Send ACF field groups from one site to another using in-admin actions.
- Quick links for sync — Use streamlined links to move specific field groups with fewer clicks.
- Bulk actions — Import or push multiple field groups at once for faster workflows.
- UI-driven setup — Handle syncing through a clean admin interface rather than file-based steps.
- No JSON or DB moves required — Avoid exporting, moving JSON files, or migrating databases to transfer groups.
