How to add your own custom Content Block

First, add your new content block within the Advanced Custom Fields – Flexible Columns editor by adding a new layout within the row width(s) you want it available in.
Next, create a new function in your functions.php like so:
function yourfunction($type){
if( $type == ‘layout_name’ ):
$field = get_sub_field(‘field_name’);
$layout = $field;
endif;
return $layout;
}
Then add the function to the filter so it will appear like so:
add_filter(‘flexible_layout’, ‘yourfunction’);
