This particular plugin combines two separate plugins into a single giant. By combining the powers of Visual Composer and Advanced Custom Fields, the WP ACF-VC bridge has everything you would want from a plugin. WP ACF-VC Bridge includes ACF PRO plugin ($25 worth) that makes it an awesome deal and attracts my attention too. However, the Visual Composer plugin should be bought separately.
Visual Composer
Before creating the bridging plugin, Visual Composer was used by website developers everywhere to create an aesthetically pleasing layout for their websites. However, it was limited in the fact that people were not given the ability to use multiple visual composers per page and the data structures for the templates were also lacking. With the creation of this plugin, many improvements were made and two of the most suitable plugins were combined together to form one mega plugin for ease of use and greater efficiency.Advanced Custom Fields
Advanced Custom Fields makes up for the lacking data structure in Visual Composer by giving control over the data of the design to the website developer. However, Advanced Custom Fields was lacking everything that Visual Composer had. This is where WP VC ACF Bridge was created as a way to bring together the best of both worlds and make it easier for WordPress users to gain access to all the necessities they need in their plugin collection.How to Use WP VC ACF Bridge
Making effective use of this plugin is fairly easy if you have an understanding of both sides of this picture. The possibilities are endless with this plugin and they include the following:- Use the Visual Composer on any post or page;
- Use an unlimited number of visual composers on each page;
- Choose any ACF from any page or post and set its options to your liking;
- Add date, time, text, number, image and so on because ACF supports all PRO fields;
- Make VC content snippets and reuse them anywhere you would like;
- Changes made to a single place on the design layout can be applied to the rest of the website;
- VC snippets that you create are instantly accessible as templates.
Features
