ACF 5.8.7 Release

Advanced Custom Fields version 5.8.7 is now available. This is an update for both our ACF and ACF PRO plugins, and we encourage you to update your sites as soon as possible.

🍸 Admin Style Refreshments

This release focuses on WordPress 5.3 compatibility, including the new high-contrast admin styles. These new styles look great, offering a more contemporary and accessible look to the WordPress admin.

It’s worth mentioning that we included backwards compatibility for the previous admin styles too – meaning ACF will look great, no matter which version of WordPress is installed!

Here are some side by side screenshots showing various ACF pages in WordPress 5.3 compared to WordPress 5.2.
