Enfold 6.0 – Dynamic Content, Custom Layouts and ACF Support
Enfold 6.0 in a Nutshell: Dynamic Content, Custom Layouts & ACF
This is the big one. Enfold 6.0 introduces Dynamic Content — instead of typing a value into an element, you point the element at a data source and it fills itself in. That works across more than thirty elements now, from Special Heading and Textblock all the way through to Galleries and Image Hotspots :)
It comes with full Advanced Custom Fields support for sixteen ACF field types, plus support for ACF post types and taxonomies. There is a new Dynamic Data element, a new Custom Layout element, and an av_dynamic_el shortcode so you can output dynamic data outside of the Layout Builder as well.
Custom Post Types got a proper home too — you can now activate your own post types for the Layout Builder, pick default terms when saving, and add taxonomy and thumbnail columns to their edit screens. There is a lot to unpack here, so we wrote it up properly in the documentation.
So whats new with this one?
Here is the list of all the changes ;)
