Install

No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:

wp plugin install https://github.com/8amscott/acf-live-preview/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

Ships its own WordPress updater (Plugin Update Checker), so new versions show up under Dashboard → Updates.

Readme github.com/8amscott/acf-live-preview ↗

WordPress plugin: draggable, resizable live preview panel inside the classic editor for ACF-powered pages.

Submits the post form to a hidden iframe (so ACF + post fields all get saved to an autosave revision), then loads the WordPress preview URL inside the panel iframe.

Installation

Upload as a normal WordPress plugin (zip the folder) or copy the folder into wp-content/plugins/.

Requires ACF (free or Pro) to be active.

Development

This is the canonical source. Per-site copies under wp-content/plugins/acf-live-preview/ should be kept in sync with this repo.

See CHANGELOG.md for version history.
