# ACF Frontend Form

Found in the Elementor panel under **Dotjuice → ACF Frontend form**. Requires Advanced Custom Fields (ACF).

## How it works

Place this widget on a template that renders a single post or page — it displays an editable form for **whichever post is currently being viewed**, using ACF's own native form rendering. This widget only works on singular posts/pages (a single product, a single post, a single custom post type entry); it doesn't render anything on archive pages, the homepage, or similar listing pages.

## Content settings

| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| **ACF Field Groups** | Choose which of your site's ACF field groups should be editable in this form. Nothing renders until at least one is selected. |
| **Enable Title** | Includes the post title as an editable field. |
| **Enable Content** | Includes the main content editor as an editable field. |
| **Submit Button Label** | The text on the form's submit button (default "Update"). |

## Setting it up

1. Place the widget on a Single Post, Single Product, or other singular template in your Elementor Theme Builder.
2. Select the ACF field group(s) you want editable.
3. Decide whether the post title and/or content should be editable too.
4. Publish and test by viewing an actual individual post/page that uses this template.

## ⚠ Important: this widget has no built-in access restriction

Anyone who can view the page this widget is placed on can submit changes through the form — there's no automatic login requirement or capability check. If you only want logged-in users, specific roles, or the post's author to be able to edit, you'll need to add that restriction yourself: placing the widget inside a members-only page, using a membership/restriction plugin, or a conditional visibility rule in Elementor Pro. Don't place this widget on a fully public page unless open editing is genuinely what you want.

## Good to know

- This widget only renders a form when viewing an actual singular post or page — on archives, the homepage, or search results, it won't display anything.
- The uploader for image/file fields uses a simple file picker rather than the full WordPress media library browser.
