    WordPress took over the plugin ACF plugin and renamed it to SCF, forking it and taking total control over the develop of the free plugin in wordpress repository.

    Users need to know about the continuity and compatibility of the two plugins and what is gonna be the elementor plugin to go to in the newest releases. So we can make a decision on installing one or another.

    Hi @agenciafisher,

    The free version of the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin on www.ads-software.com has changed its name to Secure Custom Fields (SCF), with new management. However, the original ACF authors still offer the original free ACF and ACF Pro versions. Here’s what you can do:

    Option 1: Keep using SCF
    You can continue using the SCF version from www.ads-software.com. It’s still fully compatible with Elementor, and you’ll receive automatic updates, so nothing changes in terms of functionality.

    Option 2: Switch to the ACF or ACF Pro from the original authors
    If you prefer to use the original ACF or upgrade to ACF Pro, you’ll need to manually update the plugin by downloading it from the ACF website.

    Both versions are still compatible with Elementor, so you won’t have any issues with your site. Both options will work with Elementor, so it’s up to you! Let us know if you need any help.

    Best regards,
