Adds toggle - super easy

By MaryMak (maxms) on January 27, 2025

This was so quick to add and very helpful to see certain fields in the admin.

Great tool - Quick Edit?

By raidpixels on November 30, 2024

Great tool, works as it should. For free!

One useful addition would be the ability to add the ACF fields to the Quick Edit dialog.

No longer maintained?

By pebweb on November 8, 2024

Too bad it would have been exactly what I was looking for. But the plugin is probably no longer maintained, with WP 6.6.2 the thing no longer makes any noise.

Edit: Don't know why, but now it works great.

Great plugin with a Fatal Error

By Ivan Privalov (IvanPr) on August 28, 2023

I've been using this plugin for years now until now, when it started to give
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Illegal offset type in /wp-content/plugins/admin-columns-for-acf-fields/acf_admin_columns.php:170 at the 'All posts' page.

Switched to «Posts Columns Manager». with more features and maintenance.

Thanks for this plugin!

By andersenwebworks on January 19, 2023
