ACF fields in custom settings page

Hi,

I have an options page called “Theme Options” under the Appearance menu. I also have an ACF field currently available as a top-level menu item called “Options” via the ACF Options Page plugin.

I would like to put those ACF fields into my custom options page. So far I have this, which just allows you to create field groups for the Theme Options page:

add_filter('acf/location/rule_values/options_page', function ($choices) {
  $choices['theme_options'] = 'Theme Options';
  return $choices;
});

Any pointers on how I can do this?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi @tomdxw

It is not possible to place ACF fields onto a custom page within the wp-admin.

Sorry, but this is a limitation of the plugin.

Perhaps you can think about adding the Theme Options menu with ACF and then you can add fields to it.

Thanks very much Elliot, I’ll look into creating the menu with ACF instead.
