Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) has been a mainstay for custom WordPress development since it arrived on the scene. It’s still a great plugin.

But, is it time to move away from ACF and start using what WordPress core gives you in custom block development?

In this talk, we’ll go over:

  • The ACF data model, and why it can slow down your site at scale
  • Dynamic vs. Static blocks and when to use each
  • Custom block development options in PHP and JS
  • How and when to use attributes or post meta for your custom block
  • Removing legacy ACF rows in your database

Come find out if you should break up with ACF, and thank it for its years of faithful support. You’ll always have the memories!
