The ACF trap

Dragging a field is easy.
The data does not follow.

ACF makes it simple to evolve a site—until real content has been saved. Move or rename the wrong thing and values can disappear from editors, templates can return blanks, and thousands of database rows can become detached from their field definitions.

FieldCraft treats a schema change as a migration, not a drag-and-drop. It finds the affected content, shows you the plan, protects the existing state and moves the field and its values together.

A safer workflow

From risky edit to controlled migration.

No SQL surgery. No hoping a search-and-replace caught every storage shape.

  1. 01

    Choose the change

    Select a field, destination or rename. FieldCraft understands ACF’s storage model.

  2. 02

    Preview the impact

    See affected values, locations and compatibility work before anything is written.

  3. 03

    Commit safely

    The migration runs inside a database transaction with a backup already prepared.

  4. 04

    Verify or roll back

    Review the changelog, test the site and reverse the run if the result is not right.

Link & Sync

Update one shared field.
Change it everywhere it belongs.

Keep repeated content consistent without turning every page into a clone. You decide exactly which pages share each field.

01

Link only the pages you choose

Create the set from a page and it becomes the source. Add only the pages that should share that field.

02

Sync the current value now

Push the source value to every linked page immediately, with a backup and changelog entry.

03

Keep future edits together

Later saves on the source update the linked pages automatically. Linked copies are protected from accidental edits.

Built for real ACF sites

More than moving boxes in wp-admin.

Link and sync shared fields

Use one ACF field across selected pages, update it at the source and keep every linked copy consistent.

Questions, answered

Before you move anything.

Still unsure about a particular ACF setup? Ask us about it.

Does FieldCraft work with ACF Free?+

No. FieldCraft requires Advanced Custom Fields Pro 6.0 or later and will not initialise without it.

Does moving a field change its stored values?+

That is the point. FieldCraft plans the schema change and the stored-value migration together, then shows you the impact before it writes anything.

Can I undo a migration?+

Yes. Runs are backed up and recorded in a changelog, with a 24-hour rollback window if the result is not right.

Is FieldCraft Sync the same as Nought Sync?+

No. FieldCraft Link & Sync shares the value of one ACF field across selected pages on the same site. Nought Sync moves WordPress changes between environments.

Do all pages have to share the same value?+

No. You choose the pages in each linked set. About and Contact can share one CTA while Home keeps its own version, and the same field can belong to other independent sets elsewhere.
