What It Does

The ACF Columns plugin allows users to arrange ACF fields in column groups within the post editor. This feature enhances the organization of custom fields, making it easier to manage content layout.

With the new ACF 5.7, conditional logic can now be applied across different columns, providing greater flexibility in field management. Users can define the width of each column by adding a Column Field to their field group, with options for 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 columns, etc.

To close a row, simply add a Column Field with the value 'Reset'. Please note that this plugin is compatible only with ACF PRO (version 5.4.0 or higher).

FAQ

If you are using a ACF version prior to 5.7 you can’t use the ACF conditional logic on fields across different columns.

Unfortunately, the problem is how ACF uses conditional logic. Both of the conditional logic fields (the conditional logic field and the field containing the value for the logic) must have the same parent element in the DOM.

However, since the column plugin have to modify the DOM tree, so that the columns can be split, the conditional logic only works in one column.
