ACF is a great plugin – when the ACF team gets to manage it.

I feel that enough time has passed that it’s fair to post a new review. My previous review was deleted, in what used to be a very rare occurrence for reviews on the repo. The review demonstrated the number of guidelines for the WordPress Community. wordpress.org, and the Plugin Directory were broken when Automattic changed ownership and naming of the plugin, and locked out the original developers.

As that situation was backtracked, and the larger issue is working through the courts, It’s time to show love to a plugin that I’ve used on dozens of sites for over a decade at this point. If you ignore the additional harm that was brought to trust this plugin and future updates thanks to the unilateral actions of Automattic, this plugin is great for adding custom metadata to pretty much any part of your site, including custom post types, users, taxonomies, and more.
