NPC Manual Generator For Advanced Custom Fields Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
When you hand off a WordPress site to a client, they often ask “where do I edit what?”. NPC Manual Generator for Advanced Custom Fields parses the field structures defined by Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and produces an update manual that operations staff can actually read – in Markdown and PDF.
Designed for real-world handoff use, the plugin renders Repeater / Flexible Content / Group nesting, translates ACF location rules into readable text, and bundles a Japanese-capable font for PDF output, so the result is something you can ship as a deliverable.
Main features
- Read ACF local JSON (
acf-json/group_xxx.json) and field groups stored in the database - Indented rendering for nested fields (Repeater / Flexible Content / Group)
- Formatted output of field type, required flag, instructions, choices, and more
- Location rule humanization (post type, taxonomy, page templates; resolves page/post titles when reading from the database)
- Live preview in the admin screen
- Markdown download (single file and Zip bundle)
- PDF download (single file – A4 portrait, IPAex Gothic bundled, header / footer / page numbers)
- Bulk Zip download with format selection (MD / PDF / Both)
- Paired filename rename when bundling so that the MD and PDF for the same group share the same suffix
Translation
All UI strings are wrapped with __() / _e() and the text domain npc-manual-generator-for-advanced-custom-fields. A Japanese translation is bundled (languages/npc-manual-generator-for-advanced-custom-fields-ja.po). Additional languages can be contributed through translate.wordpress.org.
Roadmap
- Template feature (rebrand the manual with your studio’s logo and colors)
- Inline display in the post editor sidebar
- Sample value capture (pull one real post and show “currently entered as …”)
- Diff manuals (highlight changes since the previous output)
- Automatic screenshot insertion (capture the admin screen with a headless browser and embed in the PDF)
