This will also look different depending on if you pick the standard meta box or seamless options I think.

I usually go with “block” – and then I set the width percentage for each field to try and get them as tightly fit together as possible.

While I have a good example:

Table, Block, and Row are options for how the fields are displayed in the admin panel. They are not unique to the ‘flexible content’ type of fields.

A comparison of these options would be great in the docs. I can find one. I usually just try all three and see which one works best for my specific set of fields. It’s a real challenge to set up the fields in the most compact way – so that my admin page isn’t 10 feet long.

Here’s a shot of each. In this case, it’s a “repeater” field with 4 or so fields in it (and some conditional logic to hide possibly unused fields)

TABLE

BLOCK

ROW

Excellent point!

I went with group / but I wouldn’t have seen that prefix side-effect until I tried it out. I don’t use template part / because I’m stubborn and it’s ugly… but my components certainly use a generic variable that needs to stay stable. I usually create a little get-example-data.php file to organize the fields into variables so I can use them in many contexts.
```
<example-card>
  <h2 class='title'><?=$title?></h2>
</example-card>
```

Ah. Field name prefixing didn’t click for me. Excellent. I see it here: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/clone

I changed the article_poster / article_hero fields to ‘group’ instead of ‘clone’ – and made a subfield called ‘image’ and then cloned that.
```
 
$poster = get_field('article_poster');
$posterSmall = $poster["small_crop"]["url"];
$posterMedium = $poster["medium_crop"]["url"];
$posterLarge = $poster["large_crop"]["url"];
```
but my first instant was to access [“image”] – which I didn’t need to do – because the clone just replaces that.
So – setting this to ‘not active’ – will still allow it to be cloned.
I just typed up some stuff here – and now it’s gone somehow : /
Just to add to this while I’m here / I had the same question.

For example, I have an “image fields” fielder. I use that as a clone in 10+ places. But –

Like John says, there is is no option to set it to show on ‘no pages’ / and instead I just make a rule that is impossible / so “show on pages that are posts and also pages and also another custom post type.”

I don’t understand the suggestion to set the group to ‘inactive.’

I didn’t see it in the docs:

https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/creating-a-field-group/

So – to be clear / I want to my field to be “active” – as in usable / but it’s meaning is that it does not show in any ‘location’ – but is still usable as a clone?

Just leaving some images here to help clarify – as I tend to find my own posts years later. ; )

It seems to create intermittent issues. Sometimes my WYSIWYG fields are 4x the viewport height. It’s on a good track, but I would be in favor of something in core.

I meant to click ‘this solved my question’ on your answer – but botched it – and hit it on my own… : / — and can’t seem to undo it!

Ooooh…. this is really cool!

I had given each block a different key/name – so, I changed that to ‘block_title’ – so that I could keep it simple.

`
add_filter(‘acf/fields/flexible_content/layout_title’, function($title) {
$ret = $title;
if ($custom_title = get_sub_field(‘block_title’)) {
$ret = sprintf($title . ‘: ‘ . ‘<strong>’ . $custom_title . ‘</strong>’);
}
return $ret;
});
`

Hooray!!! So cool! Thanks @antishow !

(for anyone else who finds this / the filter goes in your functions.php)

Thanks, John.

I put out a call to the larger WP forum – since your research leads away from CPTs and ACF.

- in reply to: No p tags with wysiwyg field
- December 11, 2017 at 7:47 am
Hello. I’ll add my situation on this thread.

I am consuming data from ACF in a JavaScript front-end application. Because of our product, we have a lot of <sup> going on in a lot of places. I would love to just use a ‘text’ field, but because of this – I have to use WYSIWYG fields for almost everything.

The prime example, is that we have an H2. It needs to have a WYSIWYG.

It is used in the template like this:

<h2>{{{model.acf.field-name}}}</h2>

Now because the field is a WYSIWYG, that generates something like this:

<h2><p>Something with a <sup>™</sup></p>/h2>

And – you can see how that is a problem with my article type system / styling wise (as well as crawler document structure.

I *could* remove all p tags from the editor… but I also need those in all of the other cases.

Any ideas – or ways you’ve worked with this?

An option in the field would be the best – but I can also just teach my team to write sup in the headings / since it’s only a third of them. A WYSISYG that is known to be only one line etc. ?

If the WYSISYG weren’t so tall by default, that would also be a part of my choices.

@jgregory – that’s sounds great. BUT – where would I put that? I rarely amend the WordPress admin side of things, so what .js file would that go in? Something along these lines? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3326967/how-to-add-custom-javascript-to-wordpress-admin

No solution from me… but wanted to weigh in – and say that I also find that I need a WYSIWYG field for a sentence or two / and the size of it makes the admin seem murky.

+1 for some ‘field grows to fill content’ option
