FAQ

Export and import buttons don't show on my flexible field

  • Sometime it's necessary to turn on / off option twice.

How to define which type of user has access to these features?

  • There is two filters you can use for that : mc_ft_import_cap and mc_ft_save_cap which you must pass one or more WordPress capabilities.

How to customize labels used in admin templates?

  • Because Flexible fields can be very different things depending on the projects, you can use 4 filters to customize the labels used in admin, and also textdomain : mc_ft_template_plural, mc_ft_template_singular and mc_ft_template_all_menu_label. Examples of how to use them :
// singular label
function my_custom_template_sing_label( $singular_name ) {
    $singular_name = __( 'Custom singular', 'my-text-domain' );
    return $singular_name;
}
add_filter( 'mc_ft_template_singular', 'my_custom_template_sing_label', 10, 1 );

// plural label
function my_custom_template_plur_label( $plural_name ) {
    $plural_name = __( 'Custom plural','my-text-domain' );
    return $plural_name;
}
add_filter( 'mc_ft_template_plural', 'my_custom_template_plur_label', 10, 1 );

// the "all" menu label
function my_custom_template_menu_label( $all_menu_label ) {
    $all_menu_label = __( 'Custom "all" menu label', 'my-text-domain' );
    return $all_menu_label;
}
add_filter( 'mc_ft_template_all_menu_label', 'my_custom_template_menu_label', 10, 1 );
