PROActive Forms
The pro version allows developers to manually activate Forms individually using the “Active” switch in the sidebar.
Forms Integration
Use PHP code or WordPress Shortcode to display the forms on the front-end, override settings or pass custom data.
Forms Cheatsheet
Dynamic Forms have many Template Tags available that can be used in the UI. Those tags let you retrieve various dynamic data in order to customize the form behavior.
Forms Helpers
You may use different PHP helpers in the forms hooks in order to cutomize actions behaviors.
Forms Hooks
Dynamic Forms are bundled with general hooks allowing you to change the form settings, add validation rules and trigger a custom action on submission. Those hooks are tied to forms, and act independently from Actions.
Forms Actions
Actions are pre-defined templates that trigger a specific behavior. There can be an unlimited number of Actions per form. While every Actions have unique features like create a post, a user or send an e-mail, they also have their own validation & submit hooks.
Form Actions also have their own specific hooks that allow you to change their behavior. Learn more about Actions:

| Post Action |
| Redirect Action |
| Term Action |
| User Action |
Export/Import Forms
It is possible to export and import Forms in a Json file using the ACF > Tools menu or directly within the Dynamic Forms UI.
Hide the module menu
ACF Extended use the native ACF setting show_admin to determine if the module menu should be displayed or not. You can read more about that setting on the ACF article How to hide ACF menu from clients. Usage example:
add_filter('acf/settings/show_admin', '__return_false');Disable The Module
The Form module is enabled by default. It can be enabled and disabled in the Settings UIPRO, or with the following code:
// Using acf/init
add_action('acf/init', 'my_acfe_modules');
function my_acfe_modules(){
// Disable Dynamic Forms
acf_update_setting('acfe/modules/forms', false);
}
// Or using acfe/init
add_action('acfe/init', 'my_acfe_modules');
function my_acfe_modules(){
// Disable Dynamic Forms
acfe_update_setting('modules/forms', false);
