How it works

Using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) options, areas of the website, such as header, footer and schema are pre-built using WordPress shortcodes.

Local JSON

Global options are served/saved via .JSON files via the 'acf-json' folder. This feature saves field groups, post types, taxonomies, and option pages as JSON files.
