WordPress Broke Trust

As a long-time user of Advanced Custom Fields, I’m incredibly disappointed to see what has happened to this once-great plugin. ACF was built by its original authors with dedication and passion for the WordPress community, embodying the true open-source spirit. But now, WordPress (or its corporate interests) has effectively stolen it from the hands of its creators.

This feels like a massive betrayal—not just to those of us who relied on ACF, but to the entire community that trusted in its original vision. Instead of supporting its continued growth through its authentic creators, WordPress has taken over, prioritizing profit and control. This move has shattered my trust in both ACF and WordPress.

It’s sad to see a powerful, community-driven tool turned into just another corporate asset. I can no longer recommend ACF, and this is a huge loss for the open-source ecosystem.
