Why I used ACF Pro instead of Pods this time
I like Pods a lot as the ‘all-in-one’ solution for both CPT and custom fields creation, together with the many-to-many relationship possibilities. Why did I decide to use ACF Pro instead for my latest webproject?
A Challenging job
Making a webshop, without being a real shop at the start, in a multiple language environment and products to be imported from a CSV is a ‘not everyday’s’ challenge. This is how we did it.

Sometimes it seems hard to bring up the best in your own fantasy on what you could do with the powerful combination of custom post types, custom fields, custom taxonomies in the back-end and Beaver Themer in the front-end. WordPress was from the original design principles a ‘blogging machine’. So posts in text, combined with…
