Hi @filipvanreeth
Thanks for the post.
It is possible to change the load point from which acf will look up the json files.
To create a new load point (folder) for ACF to look in, please add the following code to your theme or plugin:
<?php
add_filter('acf/settings/load_json', 'my_acf_json_load_point');
function my_acf_json_load_point( $paths ) {
// remove original path (optional)
unset($paths[0]);
// append path
$paths[] = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/my-custom-folder';
// return
return $paths;
}
?>
