Not really support, not really a technical issue. Maybe somebody has found a solution or knows a way:
I’m working on a plugin that, not trying to reinvent the wheel, recommends ACF. At the moment it comes just with one field I exported to json and provide for import, but that number might increase.
At the moment I will just offer to download said json file and instruct on how to import it. I’d much rather make this a process that can be done with a click. Is there a way to instruct ACF from another plugin to import a json file from a provided path?
The only function that you could probably use is acf_import_field_group(). This function requires that the JSON has already been been decoded. For an example of use see the method submit()
