A recap of the ACF Chat Fridays July session focused on WordPress agency workflows. Key topics include using Local JSON for database-free field configuration across teams, new WP-CLI commands (wp acf json status/sync) for automating deployments in CI/CD pipelines, encapsulating block fields directly in block.json for portability, and migrating to ACF Blocks v3 ahead of WordPress 7.1 iframe changes. Additional tips cover activating PRO via PHP constants, hiding the ACF admin menu from clients, using conditional logic and options pages, and integrating Admin Columns for custom post type management. The team also previewed upcoming AI-assisted field generation and context-aware demo content features.
