Replace the ACF Flexible Content layout dropdown with a visual modal — preview layouts as cards, then add them with a click.

== Description ==

Adding layouts to an ACF Flexible Content field means clicking the dropdown and picking them one at a time, with nothing but a label to go on. **AIBS Flexible Content Picker for ACF** replaces that dropdown with a visual modal so your editors can actually *see* what they're adding.

Each layout appears as a card with a thumbnail, title, and short description, so editors can see exactly what they're adding before they add it.

= Features =

* Visual modal replaces the default layout dropdown
* Thumbnail, title, and description for every layout (set in the ACF field group editor)
* Add layouts to your field with a single click
* Lightweight — no bloat, no external connections, no account required

Every feature above is fully functional in this free plugin — there is no license key, no trial, and nothing gated. A separate, optional **Pro add-on** (sold and downloaded from its own site, not from WordPress.org) adds a power-user workflow: select several layouts and add them in one batch, reorder your selection before inserting, and search across large layout libraries.

= Requirements =

This plugin extends the **Flexible Content** field, which is part of **Advanced Custom Fields PRO**. ACF PRO 6.0 or later must be installed and active.

= About the optional Pro add-on =

This free plugin gives every editor the full visual picker: preview each layout as a card and add it to your Flexible Content field with a click, with no limits, no license key, and no external connections. It is complete and fully functional on its own.

A separate **AIBS Flexible Content Picker for ACF — Pro** add-on is sold and downloaded from its own site (not from WordPress.org). When installed alongside this plugin it adds a power-user workflow: selecting several layouts and adding them in one batch, reordering your selection before inserting, and searching across large layout libraries. The add-on is entirely optional and its code is not part of this WordPress.org plugin.

== Installation ==

1. Install and activate **Advanced Custom Fields PRO** (6.0+).
2. Install this plugin through the Plugins screen, or upload the ZIP.
3. Activate it. You'll be taken to the settings page on first activation.
4. Open any Flexible Content field in the ACF field group editor and set an image, title, and description for each layout.
5. When editing a post or page, click "Add Layout" to open the picker modal.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this require ACF PRO? =

Yes. The Flexible Content field is a PRO-only feature of Advanced Custom Fields, so ACF PRO 6.0 or later must be active.

= Does it work with the free version of ACF? =

No — Flexible Content is not available in the free version of ACF, so this plugin needs ACF PRO.

= How many layouts can I use? =

As many as your field defines — the free version lets you add any of them, one layout at a time. The separate Pro add-on plugin adds multi-select (batch adding), drag-to-reorder, and search.

= Where do the thumbnails and descriptions come from? =

You set them per layout inside the ACF field group editor, in the field's settings panel.
