CODE

Heres a code snippet I created with the help of Perplexity AI that lets me display and use ACF fields as custom dynamic tags in WPForms

  • Add to functions.php or a custom plugin
/**
 * Summary of dynamic_acf_smart_tags:
 * 
 * - Not sure why this works, but it does. Perplexity AI helped.
 * @param mixed $tags
 * 
 * Ref:
 * - https://www.perplexity.ai/search/i-m-trying-to-include-an-acf-c-bDVrWF9dQamDSSUNDcJonA
 */
function dynamic_acf_smart_tags($tags) {
	$tags['acf_field'] = 'ACF Field';
	return $tags;
}
add_filter('wpforms_smart_tags', 'dynamic_acf_smart_tags');

function process_dynamic_acf_smart_tags($content, $tag) {
	if (strpos($tag, 'acf_field_') === 0) {
			$field_name = str_replace('acf_field_', '', $tag);
			$field_value = get_field($field_name, get_the_ID());
			$content = str_replace('{acf_field_' . $field_name . '}', $field_value, $content);
	}
	return $content;
}
add_filter('wpforms_smart_tag_process', 'process_dynamic_acf_smart_tags', 10, 2);

functions.php snippet: PHPMailer - to send email without needed a plugin

// PHP MAILER SMTP OVERRIDE
// REF: https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/
//     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtNraQxUTM0
//
// NOTE: SMTP_LOGIN, SMTP_PASSWORD are defined in wp-config.php
//
add_action('phpmailer_init','custom_mailer');
function custom_mailer( PHPMailer $phpmailer ) {

	
	$from_email = 'noreply@yoursite.com';
	$from_name = 'Your Site No-Reply';
	$host = 'smtp.your-isp-server.com';
	$port = 587;
	$smtp_secure = 'tls';


	// $mail_body = '<p><strong>Hello!</strong> This is an email sent with PHPMAILER</p>';

	// SMTP / Server Settings

	// $phpmailer->SMTPDebug = 2;
	$phpmailer->SetFrom($from_email, $from_name);
	$phpmailer->Host = $host;
	$phpmailer->Port = $port;
	$phpmailer->SMTPAuth = true;
	$phpmailer->SMTPSecure = $smtp_secure;
	$phpmailer->Username = SMTP_LOGIN;
	$phpmailer->Password = SMTP_PASSWORD;
	$phpmailer->isSMTP();

	// $phpmailer->isHTML(true);
	// $phpmailer->Subject = $phpmailer->Subject . ' - EXTRA SUBJECT PART!';
	// $phpmailer->Body = $phpmailer->Body . $mail_body . '<br>This is a <b>SIGNATURE</b><br>';
	// $phpmailer->AltBody = strip_tags($mail_body);
