Descripción
This plugin is a excellent companion of ACF (Advanced Custom Fields).
When dealing with ‘Relationship’ or ‘Post Object’ fields (which links a post to one or multiple other posts), you often stumble on having to link to a post that does not exist yet. This is a frustrating and time-consuming experience: you have to save the content you were working on, then create the new post, and finally reload your primary content to be able to link to the newly created post.
This plugin simplifies this process by allowing you to create the related posts on the fly.
PRO version
This plugin is only compatible with the free version of Advanced Custom Fields.
A PRO version, compatible with ACF PRO, can be purchased here.

FAQ
- Is it compatible with Advanced Custom Fields PRO version?
-
No. A PRO version of
Quick and Easy Post creation for ACF Relationship Fields
plugin, compatible with ACF PRO, can be purchased here. - Can we make the lightbox wider?
-
Unfortunately not for the moment. This will be a possible enhancement when this bug will be fixed.
- Does this add-on handle bidirectional relationships?
-
Bidirectional relationships are out of the scope of this add-on. However, the ACF documentation gives a great example to achieve this.
- Is it possible to pre-populate a child field depending on the parent from where it’s been created?
-
Yes it is. This add-on loads the child post form in an iframe with some additional URL params:
- acf_rc_from_content_type: the post type of your parent post.
- acf_rc_from_content_ID: the ID of your parent post.
You can use these URL params to pre-populate an ACF field on your child post. Example:
<?php add_filter('acf/load_field/name=${NAME_OF_YOUR_ACF_FIELD}', 'populate_acf_field' ); function populate_acf_field( $field ) { if( !empty( $_REQUEST['acf_rc_from_content_type'] ) && $_REQUEST['acf_rc_from_content_type'] == '${YOUR_PARENT_CONTENT_TYPE}' && !empty( $_REQUEST['acf_rc_from_content_ID'] ) ) { $field['value'] = 'whatever you want'; } return $field; }
