  Hi all,

  I am developing a new plugin which creates a new custom post type called ‘pop-up’. Ideally I also want an Advanced Custom Field group to be created and associated with this new post type when my plugin is activated. And obviously removed when my plugin is deactivated (never should be but it needs to handle this).

  Is this possible? How would I go about it?

  Thanks in advance for any help
  Kevin

  You would export the field group to PHP for your plugin. It would only exist when the plugin is active https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/register-fields-via-php-workflow/ https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/register-fields-via-php/
