A long time ago, I put a post up about getting ACF Fields for a custom post type in the WP JSON API response but you’d have to do that one by one. Sometimes that would be good but if you have a lot of fields and don’t mind them being public it’s not so […]

Taming a River Theme
Origin Story Matt worked long hours making an incredible theme for Footprints on the James course.1 It’s in WordPress but a large portion of the site ended up being built by hand as complexity increased and time dwindled.2 That means it’s hard-coded HTML/PHP.

Accessible ACF-Based Tooltip Dictionary
We have a bunch of world language professors prying at the edges of Pressbooks. One of the requests yesterday was to be able to create a mini-dictionary of target language words at the beginning of sections written in that target language.

Unhide Custom Fields Screen Options When Using Advanced Custom Fields
If you use Advanced Custom Fields you may not realize it removes the ‘Custom Fields’ option from your Screen Options view and hides them entirely in the space they normally occupy below your posts/pages.
