And the support ... I needed some help combining the codes and literally got an instant response! Clearly ACPT is going to be a top tier choice for a custom post type plugin. bullcitywebdesign says: Amazing value and incredible support. I couldn’t be more impressed with the ACPT plugin! Not only is the tool incredibly powerful—easily matching everything ACF can do—but it does it all at a third of the price.
The interface is intuitive, the features are robust, and it’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into its development. Thomas says: Very efficient plugin Simple, fully customisable and very efficient. Try on 2 wordpress websites and quickly adopted like the missing tool for the development with oxygen builder. Oliver says: Great Alternative to metabox This plugin has a great developer that is working hard to compete with more established plugins such as Metabox and ACF.
Also, the developer is working hard on getting ACPT to be integrated with many different page builders. JellyBrain says: ACF who? ACPT is growing up.... FAST!!! ACPT has a brilliant interface and is almost matching in functionality with ACF, which is impressive considering the project's young age. Although Bricks integration wasn't available at the time of writing (it's in progress), I had no issues using ACPT in Bricks regardless. nhaque says: Early days but exciting tool Got this pretty early on as I missed on ACF and Metabox.
Exciting tool and the developments have been decent. I'm looking forward to the divi integration. Support has been responsive and helpful. haitran33 says: Working great Easy to use plugin, working great, 5 tacos for sure. Looking for more features soon on your plan. paradox says: ACPT Is Destined For Greatness! ACPT provides all of the features and more for a custom post type plugin.

Release history
- **Fatal error at the end of the update to 2.1.8** - updating from 2.1.7 or older showed "Class ACPT\Utils\Http\ACPTApiClient not found" (or "ACPT\Utils\PHP\Session") after "Plugin updated successfully". The update did complete and the site kept working: the old version, still running until the update page finished, couldn't find its files in the new package. Updating from older versions no longer shows the error (Tickets #1444, #1446).
- #### ACPT Lite
- **Activating ACPT while ACPT Lite 2.1.0 is active crashed** - upgrading from ACPT Lite failed with "Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error": both plugins declared the same functions, and the import stopped on a Lite field group without a position (e.g. a field group on users). ACPT now activates, imports Lite's post types, taxonomies and field groups, and deactivates Lite.
View changelog
- #### Compatibility
- **Fatal error when saving a post** - on sites where another plugin loads a newer version of the webmozart/assert library (2.x, PHP 8.2+), saving a post with ACPT fields crashed with "Declaration of ACPT\Utils\PHP\Assert::string() must be compatible". ACPT no longer redeclares the library's methods, so it works with both versions (Ticket #1435).
- **Conflicts with other plugins' PHP libraries** - ACPT's PHP libraries (Twig, phpfastcache, webmozart/assert, Symfony YAML and the others) are now bundled under ACPT's own namespace, so another plugin loading a different version of the same library can no longer break ACPT, or be broken by it.
- #### Admin
- **The update was offered again after updating** - right after an update, WordPress offered the same version again. ACPT now compares against the installed version, and an up-to-date ACPT shows the auto-updates toggle (Ticket #1439).
- **"No response from the server" on the license page** - when acpt.io's answer wasn't JSON (a firewall's block page, an error page), the license page hid what the site received. It now shows the HTTP status and the page's text (Ticket #1431).
- **Saving a meta group with a nameless box crashed** - the save failed with a server error; the box is now rejected with a message. Empty field type groups are hidden in the WooCommerce product data builder.
- #### Meta fields
- **Required fields hidden by their conditions blocked the save** - a required field hidden by its own or its box's conditions stopped the browser from submitting the form, and was still validated on the server ("Expected a non-empty value."). Hidden fields are no longer required or validated; their value is still saved (Ticket #1437).
- **Repeater children named "type" or "original_name"** - they were saved but missing from `get_acpt_field()`. They are returned again (Ticket #1437).
- **Length limits counted bytes** - Min/Max length on meta and form fields rejected accented text the browser had accepted. Limits now count characters, as the browser does (Ticket #1439).
- **Date & time values in the canonical format were rejected** - the date check was inverted: a Date & time field saved as `2026-10-26 14:30:00` (from code, the REST API or an import) failed validation. It is now accepted, like every other date format the field can store.
- #### Gutenberg & Dynamic blocks
- **Saved ACPT blocks showed as unsupported** - "Your site doesn't include support for this block" appeared when the editor parsed the post before ACPT registered its blocks, and on post types registered on `init` (GeneratePress Elements, most plugin CPTs) the blocks and their styles weren't registered server-side. Both are fixed (Ticket #1441).
- **Image fields printed the alt text in dynamic block templates** - `{{ acpt_box_image }}` printed the alt text or title, so ` ` broke. Image, File and Gallery values now print their URL and still answer `.alt`, `.title`, `.id` and the other attachment properties (Ticket #1436).
- #### Integrations
- **Bricks: query filters didn't work on CCT columns** - on a post type whose fields come from a CCT, filter elements (Select, Checkbox, Range...) had no options and never narrowed the loop. They now index and filter the CCT column values (Ticket #1434).
- **WPML / Polylang: media fields showed the same attachment in every language** - the generated `wpml-config.xml` didn't list the attachment ID key of Image, Gallery, File, Video, Audio and Image slider fields. It does now, with the field's own translation settings (Ticket #1432).
- #### Internal
- **Test suite on WordPress 7.2** (no change for users) - two tests expected HTML exactly as WordPress 7.1 sanitized it. The tests now pass on both versions.
