A WordPress plugin which extends ACF and adds the "Heading" basic field type.

The heading basic field type has two properties:

• Label: The actual text contents to be rendered into the heading
• Level: The level of the heading, which is a number 1 - 6 corresponding to the desired heading level (h1, h2, h3, ...)

The purpose of which is to allow users to control the heading level of a given module or component of your ACF fields. This is primarily for SEO and accessibility optimization for a given site, but can be used for other purposes.

You can install this plugin in two ways; either by downloading the project and installing manually, or grabbing the latest version of the plugin from the GitHub releases tab. See below for more information.

To manually install this plugin, do the following:

1. Download/clone this repository somewhere on your local machine
2. Zip up the acf-heading/ directory in the repository
3. Navigate to your WordPress install's wp-admin/ page
4. Go to the Plugins section
5. Click "Add New"
6. Click "Upload Plugin" at the top
7. Choose the zip file you just created
8. Install and activate the plugin
9. You're ready to use the heading field!

If you don't want to zip the plugin up yourself, a zip is provided in the Releases tab of this repository. Download that, then refer to steps 3 - 9 of the Manual Installation section.

Assuming you installed the plugin correctly, you should see a new option in the Type dropdown when adding a field in ACF, called "Heading" under the "Basic" section.

Selecting that will allow you to use this field.

When you retrieve a field's data that is of type heading, the data will be an associative array which has two keys: "label" and "level".

"label" will be a string that is what the user specified they want the contents of the heading to be.

"level" will be a number, 1 through 6, of what level the user has specified that they want the heading to be.

So, an example heading field's data would look like:

[
    "label" => "This is my heading!",
    "level" => "3"
]
