Can I use the ACF plugin to fill in Wordpress admin settings?

Support
#1

We create a number of websites by cloning an existing website and updating all the settings, content, images, etc.
I have tried to simplify the process to help me save time and also make it easier for our staff to do this in the future.
However, there are still so many different setting options in Wordpress, Theme X Pro settings (ie new header menus and css) and plugin settings.

Is it possible to create a one page summary form to edit many of the settings in one place? Can the ACF plugin allow me to put in merge fields throughout the Wordpress admin pages? Would something else do this?

Any help would be great.
Thanks.

Hi There,

X theme saves settings on the database, different plugins like ACF saves information on the database too. This data resides on different tables on the database not connected to each other. Thus connecting those information requires customization that is outside the scope of our support. It could be possible with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.

Thanks for understanding. Take care!

Thanks. It would be great to be able to do this in the future, especially inserting merge tags into most of the X theme pro settings (Cornerstone). Even just changing Wordpress admin settings would be a huge help.
I’ll keep my eyes open for other plugins that may offer this.

You’re always welcome!

I understand your point but this would mean lots of crossovers on theme and plugin functionalities.
You may check the following why there is native wordpress settings, there’s theme settings, and also a plugin settings. That is how wordpress framework works.
