Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Advanced Custom Fields `>= 5`
- PHP `>= 5.4`

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Use Composer to install the **mu-plugin**.

```
composer require freshsystems/wp-acf-markdown-field

```

If your WordPress project doesn't support [directory-based mu-plugins](https://github.com/roots/bedrock-autoloader), or you'd prefer to install the plugin as a regular plugin, you can override the default install path in your project's composer file (ensuring that you use the correct path to your project's plugin directory).

```
...

"extra": {
    "installer-paths": {
        "web/app/plugins/{$name}/": ["freshsystems/wp-acf-markdown-field"]
    }
}

...

```

If you're not using [Composer with WordPress](https://roots.io/bedrock-vs-regular-wordpress-install/), you can alternatively download the ZIP archive from the [releases](https://github.com/freshsystems/wp-acf-markdown-field/releases) page and upload/install the plugin manually.
