This plugin still works and is so incredibly useful if you have flexible content layouts. Amazing. Can we get an update to know its secure ? 🙂 I have enough sites running flexible ACF I’d pay for a license of this.

This plugin has saved me from having to replicate the same layout on every page. It enables you to import flexible layouts including the content from one page to another, with a couple of clicks! I was skeptical about installing it in case it messed up my layouts or corrupted content but I can honestly say it works flawlessly! Thank you so much!

this addon is really useful to use acf pro as a pagebuilder system, because acf pro lacks of copying single flexible layout or entire page layouts. i use this for all my client projects now and my clients appreciate the abilities. thank you for this plugin and please keep up improving and developing this plugin!
