Would love to hear if cjohnson1341 problem is solved. The only reason I want to buy this plugin is due the option to create a custom category page. Please let me know.
Hi,
Didn’t get a reply from cjohnson1341. I’m not sure exactly what went wrong there, but it should be one fo 2 options: 1) Either it was incorrectly configured 2) Theme doesn’t display category description, which can be fixed by customizing category template file
If you’ll get any issue like that, I can assist you solving it.
On another note, you may be willing to check my another plugin Custom Page Templates, which allows customizing any template via WP Admin, using WPBakery Page Builder.
Let me know if you have other questions.

P.S. I’m going to vacation tomorrow, so won’t be available for support until 12th November.
Thanks for the past reply, I am using Native Wordpress theme. Already did some research but found out Category Description isnt activated in my theme and I can’t locate any file which I should edit. So the Bridge won’t work. Do you think your other plugin will work? My website uses a special template for the category page I guess
Both plugins can work. It’s only a question if it will work right away or needs small customization in template files.
If you theme doesn’t display category descriptions, you can copy category template file to your child theme and add the following code where you want it to be displayed:echo do_shortcode( term_description( get_queried_object()->term_id, 'category' ) );
The rest you do as per guide.
Your category contents may be rendered by one of the following files:
1. category.php
2. archive.php
3. index.php
It depends how theme has been developed.
Let me know if you have other questions.

Thanks for the quick reply, Will check my files Tomorrow and See if I can show those category descriptions. For now Enjoy Your holidays!
Sounds good, thanks!
Finally been able to display a category, my theme builder didn’t adctivate it. Is there anything else needed in order to display the [acf field=”category_custom_content” post_id=”category_52”] line? Like permalinks? I got a lot of problems last time I tried to ask Themeforest for a refund so thats why I am curious about the ability since my theme kinda ripped alot of default option out of their config
Also checked your tutorials and found out I don’t have a option called Taxonomy Terms its called taxonomy these days. https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/adding-fields-taxonomy-term/
Found out my theme doesnt read ACF shortcodes, added the line of code:
add_filter( ‘category_description’, ‘my_category_description’ ); function my_category_description( $desc, $cat_id ) { return do_shortcode( $desc ); }
Doesn’t seem to work maybe of my custom functions.php? I added it to the bottom of the file.

Dear Pavel, I’ve just send you a private message. Due some problems I wasn’t able to contact you sooner
Hello! Quick question. I followed this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBKmRuT4i5o) video to create a new categories page and changed all the parameters to match my own post_id as well. Everything shows up fine on the backend and I am able to use Visual Composer, but there is no change to the front end of the site. Is there a step I am missing?
Hi,
If you did all as per video then setup should be fine and the only problem may be is if your theme doesn’t display category description. You can send me wp admin access via private message and I can take a look at your setup to tell you more.

Hi,
I bought the plugin yesterday and it does not work properly. I can not display “Repeater” or “Flexible Content” fields.
I created a new field group and added a “Repeater” field. http://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=18/42/p663.png Then I created a new Snippet, I added an “ACF Template FIeld” element with the WPBakery editor and selected my repeatable field. http://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=18/42/ybuz.png After I selected my template in the repeatable field. http://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=18/42/pjse.png Finally, I added my snippet in my page with WPBakery. http://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=18/42/ktob.png The text I added to the field is not displayed. http://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=18/42/1jwr.pngI tried to tick the checkbox “Force shortcodes processing on posts and pages” in the options of the plugin, without success.
Do you know why it does not work properly for me?
For information, here is the list of activated plugins that may have a link with yours: ACF-VC Integrator, TheGem Theme Elements, WPBakery Page Builder
Hi,
Partially, your screenshots give an idea of what you have there, but not complete. From your description, it seems that it’s not properly setup. But since I’m not sure what you have inside repeater field and what is the end result, let me now describe 2 options:
a) If you just need to display repeater with all fields inside in default format, then you don’t need to do anything with Templates at all. You just directly add your repeater in your page using ACF Field Picker.
b) If you want to customize each row in repeater then you setup templates (probably, this is your case). VC Snippets may be used as a template for EACH ROW in repeater, if you choose it under Template field in ACF Field config, just like you did here http://www.zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=18/42/pjse.png
In that VC Snippet, you create layout for each row and use ACF Template Field (http://www.zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=18/42/ybuz.png), however in ACF Template Field you’re NOT picking Repeater field, but chose Sub-Fields in your repeater field. This way you control what field in which format and where should be shown for each row.
After you’re done with your template, you need to add Repeater field to your page using ACF Field Picker, instead of adding VC Snippet. This way your repeater field will be displayed while using VC Snippet as a template for each row in repeater.
To recap:
1) ACF Field Picker is used for adding ACF Fields to WPBakery Page Builder
2) ACF Template Field is used only in VC Snippets and only when this VC Snippet is chosen as a template for Repeater or Flexible Content.
3) VC Snippet is just a content block which you can re-use across many page, while having a content in a single place. VC Snippet can be used as a template for ACF Repeater and Flexible Content fields. If you embed VC Snippet to WPBakery Page Builder, then ACF Template Field won’t show anything, because it works only under a context of rendering template for ACF Repeater and Flexible Content fields.
Hope I was able to clarify things. Let me know if you have questions yet. If you want, you can send me WP Admin access via private message and I’ll setup one example for you.

Thank you for your answer, it works! The reason is that I did not use the components properly. There is potentially a small bug that has caused my misunderstanding. On my Wordpress, I created custom post types and in the full editor, I do not see the elements “ACF Template Field” and “ACF Field Picker”. However, I see them well in the small editor on the post.
Here are the elements in the post editor: http://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=18/43/0ijg.png Here the elements in the complete editor: http://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=18/43/vsaa.pngIf I add an element “ACF Field Picker” in the small editor and when I go on the complete editor, this one bug and remains blocked on the loading.
I am not stuck now, but do you know if there is a way to fix this problem? ^^
Thank you for your answer, you are very professional!
I have another question for you about something I’m trying to do but I’m not sure it’s possible.
I created custom post types. Each have custom fields and some types refer to the same one.
With VC Snippet, it is possible to put a single block of static content. Is it possible to do the same thing with dynamic content?
Here is a diagram to better explain my question: http://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=18/43/ja7w.jpgThank
Hi,
1) It shouldn’t be that way even with custom post type. “ACF Field Picker” should be available in all editors, while “ACF Template Field” only in VC Snippet or Visual Composer ACF Field. If you’ll send me wp admin and FTP access I can investigate it.
2) Yes. You can make a VC Snippet with layout and data for testimonial item and then use it in a loop. Particularly, you can utilize VC Posts Grid with custom Grid Item where you embed VC Snippet.

Hi,
I hesitate to buy the plugin because I need something specific. Could you tell me if we can display subfield of “Group” field (not “Repeater” field) in VC editor?
Cordially,

Hi Flavien,
Yes, you can display a sub-field of Group field too. In ACF Field Picker you select your group field and then type the number of your sub-field. See screenshot for reference.

Hi Some pre sale questions: 1- I tested both the free ACF plugin and the free ACF VC Integrator plugin with the wpbakery visual composer, both added elements to wpbpb to insert custom fields, and it worked well for both when inserting a taxonomy filed using the theme’ taxonomies. When using custom taxonomies, that what I really need, the results for both was displaying a white screen on page view. 2- I’m considering to change the website theme to x-theme that has ACF Pro built in. Will I need this plugin to use ACF in Wpbakery? Before buying I would like to confirm that it is worth to acquires the plugin to overcome the issue of displaying custom taxonomies using wpbpb.
Thanks. Rogerio
Hi,
This plugin offers much better ACF fields integration with WPBPB, than other plugins. It supports all standard ACF PRO fields including Repeater and Flexible Content and gives an opportunity to conveniently customize output of those fields with filters.
Another value that you may consider is that it adds VisualComposer as ACF Field, which means that you can have as many Visual Composers per page and add them anywhere, including posts, users, terms and option pages.
If you’re just looking at adding ACF fields into WPBPB, then you may want to consider custom page templates plugin, because it can help you not only adding ACF fields into your VC layouts, but also create templates and dynamically replace data in shortcodes (See demo) and much more.
Let me know if you have other questions.

Hi, thanks for your reply. As I’m building a library with one CPT and a lots of different custom categories that I can’t display at the moment. I really need to store a lot data as taxonomies (names of author, types of publications…. ) and output them in the right why, without rewriting a name of an author for each of its publications. I’ll see your plugin suggestion and if I have any other question I’ll be back to ask. Thanks Rogerio
Ok sure. With CPT you can pick Author Name dynamically. Feel free to drop me a message if you’ll have any questions.
Hi! Can you describe in short how this differ from custom page templates? Thanks!
Is there a way for you to provide ACF again? Updated version has been around already. I still have 5.7.2 with this plugin, while the ACF is 4 updates above. Please update.

Hello
I am trying to get this plug in to work on wordpress (Version 4.9.8)
i get the error message ‘Visual Composer (WPBakery Page Builder) is required for the WP ACF-VC Bridge!’
our visual composer version is Version 2.10.
should this work with our visual composer?
Hi,
Most likely you’re using Visual Composer Website Builder, not Visual Composer (WPBakery Page Builder). Both plugins are made by the same company and since last year there is a confusion, because for many there was just one Visual Composer, which has been last year renamed to WPBakery Page Builder and they used same name Visual Composer for their new website builder plugin. Not sure why they did such naming trick… Maybe it suited better their marketing needs to push their new unknown product to the market.. but for the rest of the world (customers, developers, platforms) it caused much confusion and troubles. Anyways, it’s not my business, you can read their whole official story here.
WP ACF-VC Bridge doesn’t support the VC plugin you have installed. You can either consider purchasing WPBakery Page Builder and use it together with WP ACF-VC Bridge or feel free to raise a refund for WP ACF-VC Bridge and I’ll approve it.

Hi and thanks for this plugin. It solves a real headache I have where clients always want ACF template elements sandwiched between areas of VC. Having said that, I have just bought it and all looks ok, except that VC doesn’t seem to load in the pages admin area. I just get a loading diamond, then a blank section that I can’t click in. If I go full screen, it’s the same and the close button doesn’t work either, so you have to click back to go to the previous page. I have confirmed that the VC Role Manager vc_snippets is available, and the custom post type I am editing also has this switched on. Any advice to get this working would be much appreciated. Cheers Simon
Hi Simon,
Looks like there is some conflict. Most likely JS with another plugin. Can you send me access to your wp admin via private message, so I can investigate this for you?Best, PR
I’ve sent that through thanks. I tried switching off plugins too. Could it be the genesis framework that’s causing problems?
One other thought. You mentioned ACF Pro. I already had that installed. I just deactivated it and noticed that the fields are still there (still no good in the interface though). Could that be an issue though?
Hi, replied already to your email. Please check

Hi !
I did buy your plugin a few days ago in order to be able to edit category page / archive with visual composer.
Then i did follow a tutorial on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBKmRuT4i5o) explaining what i was exactly looking for.
It did work adding VC while editing category but for some unknown reason when i want to save what i made with VC, this is not applied and it is reseted… I did try addind just a text block or a premade template… same result… when i save it is reseted…
Can you help me please ?

Hi! I have recently bought your plugin. I have read this article http://wpacfvcbridge.com/create-template-for-acf-repeater-with-visual-composer , and have a question regarding that. I have an ACF repeater with 2 fields, one for an image and the other for just text. In that second field the user enters the alignment.for each image. So I want to use that second field content to assign as the image element class. How can I achieve this? Many Thanks.
Hi,
ACF Field Picker can’t do that. However, you can copy/paste code from wp-acf-vc-bridge/includes/vc-acf-field-picker-filters.php for rendering repeater field.
I can assist you with this if needed. Just drop me a private message if so.

Hi,
First, I must apologize to send you this question while you are busy.
I have looked into your two plugins (ACF-VC Bridge and Custom Page Templates) and I still not sure which one is right to purchase.
For example, at this moment, I have already a few fiels on ACF as below;
1) Select : Rocks, Pops, others 2) text area: <some text will be in>
What I would like to do is to simply show these fields on the page like…,
sentence … Rocks: <text from 2)> ... sentence …
Meaning, I would like to show ACF values within the sentense, as normally add ACF fields with ”<?php the_field(‘field_name’); ?>” on the page.
To do this, which one shall I choose?
ACF-VC bridge has the function “VC Snippets”, it might solve this.
But I saw the Custom Page Templates plugin and it seems that this is another way to show these values above.
Please let me know which one I should purchase.
Thank you for your understanding and support in advance.
All best,
Hi,
I think that Custom Page Templates solves the problem you need, because it allows you to do dynamic value replacements taking data from ACF or any other source.
In other words, with CPT plugin, you’ll be able to write sentence like: “Some long sentence about PLACEHOLDER with detailed overview of ANOTHER_PLACEHOLDER”, where PLACEHOLDER and ANOTHER_PLACEHOLDER could be replaced with text or anything else (just don’t break layout ) from ACF fields, post custom fields, or taxonomy term fields or options or whatever.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Hi, can I choose ACF image crop size? 2) ACF google map has not this option that show this map in Google map. Can I add this feature it?
Hi,
1) Yes you can. The plugin fires the following filter, which allows you to customize thumbnail size:$size = apply_filters( 'vc_acf_field_picker_render_field_type_image_size', 'medium', $post_id, $field_object );Therefore, you can add code like this to your functions.php file to adjust it:
add_filter( 'vc_acf_field_picker_render_field_type_image_size', function( $size, $post_id, $field_object ) {
// if ( .... ) { $size = "large"; } // Add your condition and size here
return $size;
