What it does
Working with Advanced Custom Fields usually means looking up the right code for each field type, checking return formats and remembering to escape output. That gets repetitive across many projects. This plugin generates the display code for each field in a field group, based on the official ACF documentation and with proper data escaping included. Each snippet has a clipboard icon, so moving code into a template takes a click, and your projects stay consistent from one build to the next.
The plugin covers ACF Free, ACF Pro and popular third-party field types, and it understands complex location rules such as Blocks, Options Pages, Widgets, Taxonomies, Comments, Attachments and Users. A Location Registration Tool helps you create and register custom ACF Blocks and Options Pages. Generated code adapts to different return types and single or multiple value settings. It also works as a kind of offline reference for ACF code, which helps freelancers and agency teams who want a shared, predictable way to output custom fields.
Best for
- Freelance developers building custom themes with Advanced Custom Fields
- Agencies wanting consistent ACF code across a development team
- Developers creating ACF Blocks and Options Pages

Questions about Theme Code Pro
Does it work with both ACF Free and ACF Pro?
Yes. The plugin works with Advanced Custom Fields in both its free and Pro editions, and it generates code for their field types. It also covers popular third-party fields such as Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7, Ninja Forms, Font Awesome and TablePress.
Is the generated code safe to use in production themes?
The code is based on the official ACF documentation and includes proper data escaping. You still review it like any code you add to a theme, but it gives you a clean, consistent starting point for outputting field values.
Can it help me build ACF Blocks and Options Pages?
Yes. Its Location Registration Tool helps you create and register custom ACF Blocks and Options Pages, and the code generator understands those location rules so the display code it produces fits where the fields live.
Will it handle fields with different return formats?
It does. The generated code accounts for each field's return type and whether it holds a single value or multiple values, so the snippet you copy matches the way the field is set up in your field group.
