Hi everyone! :waving_hand: For years, our team relied heavily on ACF’s Flexible Content Builder. It was our go-to approach for building modular, dynamic layouts in WordPress, and it served us well. But as Gutenberg has matured and become more powerful, we saw the writing on the wall: the future of W…

ACF Composer is an incredible tool :fire: [image] PixxelTim: What’s your take? Do you see any must-have advantages to fully native blocks that outweigh the practicality of ACF for smaller teams or faster timelines? :warning: I haven’t looked at ACF Blocks in at least a few years. That said, …

So, we made the leap—transitioning to native Gutenberg blocks powered by ACF Composer for our custom needs. Just a quick note on terminology — ACF blocks are not native Gutenberg blocks. I’d generally urge folks to not use ACF blocks and create their own proper native/first-party Gutenberg blocks…

:wave: Thanks for pointing that out, Ben—you’re totally right that ACF blocks aren’t “native” Gutenberg blocks. For us, though, ACF Composer has been a great middle ground. It lets us build structured, reusable components quickly without the heavier lift of native block development. Of course, we’r…

This great, I have so much in love with sage theme and roots in general due to the fact that it is minimal and clean… ACF’s Flexible Content Builder has been a great partner… am glad I completely switched from it immediately sage10 and latest gutenberg was out our developer team have had to be crea…

FWIW, I have created a setup in which I remove all native blocks and then build everything from scratch using ACF Composer with some custom functionality where, for example, each Block/Field/Partial gets its own “model” class which allows me to separate and re-use things in a nice way. In the edito…

I haven’t tried it out, but another alternative to ACF Blocks without needing to write React is https://blockstudio.dev/

It’s a good package—I’ve tried it before, and it works well. However, the free version can be quite limiting and challenging to extend, which makes the paid version almost necessary for ease of use. That said, it reminds me of the Log1x/acf-composer package, which is excellent if you’re already usi…

I don’t believe there’s a free version of Blockstudio, are you maybe thinking of another one? https://github.com/yarovikov/gutengood is another one that was shared on here not too long ago
