hey @sKuijers, this is exactly the question I’ve been trying to answer for a few hours! Have you made any progress?

Based on what I know at this point, my approach is to

1. Register my field groups.

2. Before rendering my settings page call

do_action('acf/input/admin_head');
 do_action('acf/input/admin_enqueue_scripts');

3. Add a tag in my settings page template that renders the field.

The main conceptual block I’ve run into is how I should pass the “location” params in the register_field_group() call so it reference my settings page. The plugin slug I’m using is “es_awp” (i.e. the settings URL is `http://path.to.wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=es_awp’ so I figured I could do something like this (not sure it works):

    'location' => array (
      array (
        array (
          'param' => 'page',
          'operator' => '==',
          'value' => 'es_awp',
          'order_no' => 0,
          'group_no' => 0,
        ),
      ),
    ),

I’d love to hear your approach and see any code examples if you have. I’ll be sure to post my code if I figure it out too.

Thanks in advance for any help!
