Advanced Custom Fields

ACF® is a powerful plugin for WordPress developers giving control of custom content with fields, post types & taxonomies.

From @dliciousbrains & @wpengine

[Advanced Custom Fields @wp_acf]

🚀 ACF 6.8 is here and your content just became AI-ready.

🤖 Build content models with natural language. Make your fields discoverable by search engines and AI.

🎉 And ACF's first ever WP-CLI commands.

Let's take a tour 👇

[Advanced Custom Fields @wp_acf]

ACF's Rob Stinson and Iain Poulson go under the hood of ACF 6.8 and show how the plugin has evolved from a content modeling tool into essential infrastructure for the Intelligent Web.

Get an exclusive look into:
✅ How ACF 6.8 serves both human visitors and AI agents simultaneously without having to choose between UX and machine readability.
✅ A live demo where Claude Code builds an entire custom post type, taxonomy structure, and field group from a CSV file and a plain-language prompt.
✅ Native, zero-code https://t.co/6lcjBKvVz7 mapping to 1,500+ properties directly in the ACF UI, with intelligent type detection for complex data that generates valid JSON-LD automatically.
✅ A preview into what’s coming up next with ACF

@wpengine's DE{CODE} was where I really started my #WordPress journey. Four years already! My fourth DE{CODE}! That was where I learned about great products like @LocalWP, @wpmigratedbpro, @wp_acf and many more awesome building tools from WP Engine.

@AlexStandiford @sirenaffiliates Yep! https://t.co/N6dOLMeE4I

[Advanced Custom Fields @wp_acf]

Thanks, I've passed on your suggestion to the team but in the mean time this can be accomplished with a filter on your site:

add_filter( 'acf/rest/get_field_schema', function( $schema, $field ) {
if ( ! empty( $field['instructions'] ) ) {
$schema['description'] = $field['instructions'];
}
return $schema;
}, 10, 2 );
