FAQ

Does this plugin export ACF field groups?

No. This plugin is designed to export/import options page values, not field group definitions. Use ACF’s built-in tools to manage field groups.

Does it support ACF Pro?

Yes, the plugin works with both ACF Free and ACF Pro.

Can I export a single ACF options page instead of all of them?

Yes. On the export screen, choose a specific options page from the dropdown, or leave it on “Export All Options” to export every options page at once.

Is this plugin compatible with the latest version of WordPress?

Yes, it is actively tested and confirmed working with the latest WordPress release. Check the “Tested up to” version above for the exact version.

Does this work with repeater, flexible content, or other complex ACF field types in options pages?

Yes, all ACF field types stored on Options Pages (including repeater and flexible content fields) are exported and imported as part of the JSON data.

Will importing overwrite my existing options data?

Yes. Importing a JSON file updates the matching option fields with the values in the file, so make sure you export a backup first if you want to keep the current data.
