# [Plugin: Advanced Custom Fields] Types, ACF and embedding

 * It seems [Types](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/types/) and ACF are doing
   pretty much the same thing though ACF is more popular.
 * One feature I haven’t found any info about in ACF is what Types calls “[Embedding](http://wp-types.com/documentation/embedded-types-and-views/embedding-types/)“.
   
   Is there any similar functionality in ACF for those who do not wish to rely on
   plugins for their site to work?

 * Hi [@eightfold](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eightfold/)
 * Basically, this is a “lite” version. ACF does not currently have one, but it 
   will soon.
 * At the moment, you can still use ACF in themes / plugins and register field groups
   with PHP code.
 * Thanks
