Hi @jasonthecodezombie-co-uk
Yes, you can store it somewhere outside of the theme. Here’s an example how to set it in the uploads folder:
add_filter('acf/settings/save_json', 'my_acf_json_save_point');
function my_acf_json_save_point( $path ) {
// update path
$upload_path = wp_upload_dir();
$path = $upload_path['basedir'] . '/my-custom-folder';
// return
return $path;
}
I believe there are no distinct differences between those functions. You can check it yourself by using a query monitoring plugin like this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/.
If your site is query intensive, I suggest you use a cache plugin instead.
I hope this helps 🙂
