After great support I realised my mistake not understanding the full extent of why the plugin settings caused me a few issues. I am now giving this plugin 5 stars, but would like more tutorial videos for novices like me please – which is a bit greedy considering I am using the free version ??

Just what ACF needed

61pixels September 5, 2024

So many great additions to ACF, I only wish I had found it 10 years ago. For the past couple of years it’s become a staple of everyone of my builds providing dynamic Flexible Content previews on the backend. My clients love it and it gives a much better editing experience. Not to mention all of the other features and additions it brings to the table.

Quick support and extensive documentation

muneebkiani August 29, 2024

The support is quick and professional. Well-built reliable plugin.

A really powerful addition to ACF

pzh20 July 31, 2024

I’ve been using a paid for plugin in my Elementor sites for several years, and this ‘free’ version is just as powerful, if not moreso. It also offers several other features that extend ACF even more. I can’t find anything to critisise this plugin, except that it’s not designed for the novice. Don’t get me wrong, if you do not need to extend or reconfigure the data before saving, it’s perfect, but if you need to manipulate the data, you’ll need a reasonable understanding of Wordpress and ACF Actions, Filters and Hooks. I’m probably going to buy the Pro version just to reward the developer for his efforts even though I do not currently need the additional features.

Useful, well thought out plugin. Excellent support.

dbrabyn November 18, 2023

Highly recommended.

A Must Have if Using ACF but somewhat annoying

stormhill May 6, 2023

The basic version of the plugin is phenomenal on it’s own and I am sure the pro is more than worth it, though I have not tried it. The extra field types and tools add a great deal to ACF in a seamless way. I do really wish they made it more clear what is included in PRO and not-PRO. Having badges showing half pro and half free really just adds to the confusion.
