Installation

via Composer

Run composer require smithfield-studio/acf-svg-icon-picker and activate the plugin via the plugins admin page.

Manually

  1. Copy the acf-svg-icon-picker folder into your wp-content/plugins folder
  2. Activate the plugin
  3. Create a new ACF field and select the SVG Icon Picker type

Switch from the legacy 'ACF Icon Picker' to 'ACF SVG Icon Picker'

If you're coming from the original ACF Icon Picker plugin, you can switch to this plugin by following these steps:

  1. Deactivate the old ACF Icon Picker plugin
  2. Install the ACF SVG Icon Picker plugin via Composer or manually
  3. Activate the ACF SVG Icon Picker plugin
  4. Configure your desired icon path via the new filters. Remove any old filters in use: acf_icon_path, acf_icon_url or acf_icon_path_suffix.
  5. Go over your field configurations and change the field type from icon-picker to svg_icon_picker in the field settings. Be aware of the underscores in the field type name.
  6. Check if the field type is now available in your ACF field settings

Usage of this plugin

We recommend storing your SVG icons in a folder within your theme. This plugin defaults to looking for icons inside the icons/ folder of your theme. You can change this path by using the acf_svg_icon_picker_folder filter.

When using this plugin in conjunction with a parent/child theme, you can store your icons in the parent theme and use the child theme to override the path to the icons. This way, you can provide a set of icons in the parent theme and still allow the child theme to override them.

Helper functions

We provide helper functions to fetch icons from the theme folder, without it mattering if the icon is stored in the parent or child theme.

$my_icon_field = get_field('my_icon_field');

// Get the icon URL
$icon_url = get_svg_icon_uri($my_icon_field);

// Get the icon file system path
$icon_path = get_svg_icon_path($my_icon_field);

// Get the icon contents
$icon_svg = get_svg_icon($my_icon_field);

Filters

Use the below filters to override the default icon folder inside your theme.

// modify the path to the icons directory in your theme.
add_filter('acf_svg_icon_picker_folder', function () {
  return 'resources/icons/';
});

In case you do not want to store the icons in the theme folder, you can use the filter below to change the path to an icons directory in a custom location. In this example, the icons are stored in the WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/icons/' folder.

add_filter('acf_svg_icon_picker_custom_location', function () {
  return [
    'path' => WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/icons/',
    'url' =>  content_url() . '/icons/',
  ];
});

ACF Builder / ACF Composer

$fields->addField('my_icon', 'svg_icon_picker', [
    'label' => 'My Icon',
])
