ACF Default Value Initializer
A WordPress plugin that automatically initializes default values for Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) on existing posts and users.
Description
When you add new ACF fields with default values to existing content, WordPress typically only applies these defaults to new posts/users created after the field was added. This plugin solves that problem by automatically applying default values to existing content that doesn't have a value for the field.
Features
- 🔄 Automatic Default Value Application: Applies default values to existing posts/users when fields are saved
- ⚙️ Field-Level Control: Enable/disable default value initialization per field
- 🎯 Selective Processing: Only processes content that doesn't already have a value for the field
- 🔧 Manual Processing: Admin interface button for manual initialization
- 📝 Multiple Post Types: Works with posts, pages, custom post types, and users
- 🛡️ Safe Processing: Only updates empty fields, preserves existing data
- 🎨 Clean Admin UI: Seamless integration with ACF field settings
Requirements
- WordPress: 6.4 or higher
- PHP: 8.1 or higher
- ACF: Advanced Custom Fields (free or Pro version)
