Description
With the BuddyForms ACF Extension you can use Advanced Custom Fields with BuddyForms.
ACF Free and Pro
This plugins supports the Free and Pro version of ACF out of the box.
The plugin will detect if Free or Pro version is installed, and then loads the correct ACF field groups.

ACF is the preferred choice for creating post metaboxes for the edit screen in the WordPress backend (wp-admin).
It comes packed with tons of great form elements and features.
Use all of the ACF features in the front end and combine the best of both worlds.
BuddyForms ACF works with all ACF Extensions and BuddyForms Extensions.
Use ACF to create a BuddyPress Component

Use ACF for all your form fields
With ACF enabled you build your form fields once and use everywhere. Use ACF for all form elements needed and just integrate the ACF field groups or single fields in your BuddyForms forms. You can use any ACF Field or Custom ACF Fields with BuddyForms and combine them with BuddyForms Fields and Extensions.
Moderation for your ACF Forms
With BuddyForms Moderation you get real post submission moderation to your hands.
Let your users create and edit posts without creating the ugly 404 “WordPress is struggling” if a published post is set back to draft. 😉
Sync ACF with BuddyPress
Now you are able to Sync your ACF field under BuddyForms with BuddyPress xProfile.
Use everywhere
With BuddyForms and ACF together you build your field sets once and use them everywhere.
