ACF Frontend Form

Found in the Elementor panel under Dotjuice → ACF Frontend form. Requires Advanced Custom Fields (ACF).

How it works​

Place this widget on a template that renders a single post or page — it displays an editable form for whichever post is currently being viewed, using ACF's own native form rendering. This widget only works on singular posts/pages (a single product, a single post, a single custom post type entry); it doesn't render anything on archive pages, the homepage, or similar listing pages.

Content settings​

SettingWhat it does
ACF Field GroupsChoose which of your site's ACF field groups should be editable in this form. Nothing renders until at least one is selected.
Enable TitleIncludes the post title as an editable field.
Enable ContentIncludes the main content editor as an editable field.
Submit Button LabelThe text on the form's submit button (default "Update").

Setting it up​

  1. Place the widget on a Single Post, Single Product, or other singular template in your Elementor Theme Builder.
  2. Select the ACF field group(s) you want editable.
  3. Decide whether the post title and/or content should be editable too.
  4. Publish and test by viewing an actual individual post/page that uses this template.

⚠ Important: this widget has no built-in access restriction​

Anyone who can view the page this widget is placed on can submit changes through the form — there's no automatic login requirement or capability check. If you only want logged-in users, specific roles, or the post's author to be able to edit, you'll need to add that restriction yourself: placing the widget inside a members-only page, using a membership/restriction plugin, or a conditional visibility rule in Elementor Pro. Don't place this widget on a fully public page unless open editing is genuinely what you want.

Good to know​

  • This widget only renders a form when viewing an actual singular post or page — on archives, the homepage, or search results, it won't display anything.
  • The uploader for image/file fields uses a simple file picker rather than the full WordPress media library browser.
