ACF Flexible Layout Preview

ACF Flexible Layout Preview adds a visual preview workflow for Advanced Custom Fields Flexible Content layouts. Editors can see layout screenshots before adding a row, and administrators can manage those images from a dedicated settings screen.

Requirements

• Advanced Custom Fields Pro must be installed and active.
• A valid ACF Pro license key must be entered at ACF → Updates.

The plugin will not activate — and will deactivate itself at runtime — if either of these conditions is not met.

Features

• Visual layout picker for ACF Flexible Content fields.
• Settings page under ACF > Layout Previews.
• Auto-discovers Flexible Content layouts from ACF field groups.
• Upload, replace, view, and remove layout preview images.
• Add custom layouts before they exist in an ACF field group.
• Default preview image for layouts without a custom preview.
• Grid column setting for the preview library.
• Light and dark settings page theme.
• Documentation tab with setup steps and usage benefits.
• Images stored in /wp-content/uploads/acf-layout-previews/.

Usage

1. Create an ACF Flexible Content field and add layouts.
2. Open the plugin settings page.
3. Upload a preview image for each discovered layout.
4. Use Add Custom Layout for layouts that are planned but not yet registered in ACF.
5. Edit a post, click Add Row/Add Layout, and choose layouts from the visual preview modal.
