Overview
The "Set Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Empty Field Value as Null" WordPress plugin addresses a specific issue encountered when using GraphQL in GatsbyJS. By default, empty fields in ACF may return a value of false, which can cause errors within GatsbyJS projects that utilize GraphQL for data querying. This plugin ensures that any empty fields within ACF return a null value instead of false, thereby preventing GraphQL errors and ensuring smoother data integration and querying processes. To utilize this plugin, users must have the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin installed.
