About this plugin
Recast Table Builder for Advanced Custom Fields and Secure Custom Fields adds a dedicated Table field type for Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and Secure Custom Fields (SCF).
Use it to build structured, editable custom data tables directly in the WordPress admin.
Features include:
- Add and remove table rows and columns.
- Use text cells in the field UI.
- Store the full table structure in one ACF/SCF field value.
- Works with existing ACF and SCF field group workflows.
This plugin requires Advanced Custom Fields or Secure Custom Fields to be installed and active.
Usage
- Create or edit an ACF or SCF field group.
- Add a new field and choose the Table field type.
- Assign the field group to the post type, page, options page, or block where you want to use it.
- Edit your content and add table headers, rows, and cell values in the Recast Table Builder for Advanced Custom Fields and Secure Custom Fields UI.
- Save or update the post.
To render the saved table on the front end, fetch the field value with get_field() and pass it to recast_stf_render():
$table = get_field( 'my_table' );
if ( $table ) { echo recast_stf_render( $table ); }<h3>Styling</h3>
