# JPKCom ACF (Pro) Enable Shortcode — Guide & Tips > Output ACF field values via shortcode inside a WYSIWYG — installation and practical tips for JPKCom ACF (Pro) Enable Shortcode. Source: https://www.jpkc.com/db/en/guides/jpkcom-acf-shortcode-enable/ JPKCom ACF (Pro) Enable Shortcode enables the ACF shortcode that lets you display another field's value from within the WYSIWYG editor. It unlocks a capability that Advanced Custom Fields does not enable by default for security reasons. ## Guide ### Requirements - WordPress **6.9** or newer - PHP **8.3** or newer - [Advanced Custom Fields Pro](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/) (active) ### Installation 1. In your admin panel, go to **Plugins → Add New** and click **Upload Plugin**. 2. Choose the plugin's ZIP file and click **Install Now**. 3. Make sure **Advanced Custom Fields** is activated. 4. Click **Activate** — the plugin takes effect immediately. ### Usage Once active, you can use the ACF shortcode inside a WYSIWYG field to display another field's value. See the [official ACF shortcode documentation](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/shortcode/) for the supported syntax and details. ## Tips & Tricks - **Enable deliberately:** ACF disables the shortcode by default. Only activate this plugin if you actually need the feature, and keep an eye on who is allowed to edit content with shortcodes. - **Look up the syntax:** The attributes the ACF shortcode accepts (e.g. field name, post ID, formatting) are documented on the [ACF shortcode resource page](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/shortcode/). - **Reproducible updates:** Since version 2.0.3 the plugin uses secure self-hosted updates via GitHub with SHA256 checksums and runs with `declare(strict_types=1)`. ## Further reading - Source code on GitHub: - API documentation (PHPDoc): - ACF shortcode documentation: - [This project's changelog](https://www.jpkc.com/db/en/changelog/jpkcom-acf-shortcode-enable/)
