What It Does

This is an extension for the popular Advanced Custom Fields plugin and TablePress plugin. By itself, this plugin does nothing.

This add-on for Advanced Custom Fields creates a custom field type to select a TablePress table, providing a dropdown menu that lets you select from a list of available tables. The field can return the table ID for the table selected, or the full HTML of the table.

This plugin requires Advanced Custom Fields version 4+ or 5+ and TablePress version 1.5+. Just to be sure there's no confusion, this plugin does nothing unless ACF (Or ACF Pro) and TablePress are both active on your site.

This field can return the table ID for the table selected, or the full HTML of the table. When returning the table ID, you can output your table using provided PHP snippets. For a more detailed explanation, see the article on setting up an ACF field for TablePress.
