What do you like best about Advanced Custom Fields?

ACF is a very easy-to-use plugin and integrates perfectly with Elementor Pro or Dynamic.ooo. It allows you to create fields of any type, such as text, numbers, images, galleries, and many more. It also allows you to organize content by tabs or tables, offering a very comprehensive tool for more advanced projects in WordPress. Additionally, it allows you to create custom post types following a few simple steps. I recommend it 100%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Advanced Custom Fields?

Some of the more interesting options, such as dynamically duplicating fields, are only available in the paid version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Advanced Custom Fields solving and how is that benefiting you?

ACF allows you to add to your WordPress posts or custom post types all the additional functions and options that are not found by default in WordPress. This makes it easier to carry out more complex projects, such as websites for real estate agencies, car dealerships, and other projects that require detailed customization and where sometimes we don't find certain third-party plugins.

What do you like best about Advanced Custom Fields?

Easy to use GUI for creating custom fields in WordPress. I used to code all fields manually, but this adds all necessary CSS and JS for fields I've created, I can transfer whole configuration between projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Advanced Custom Fields?

The fact it needs to use 2 fields for every piece of data. Without additional code it saves repeater in separate fields, but it can be saved as JSON which is better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Advanced Custom Fields solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saves me from time-consuming coding of all the GUI for custom fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Advanced Custom Fields?

ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) is one of the must-have plugins for every WordPress Developer or Website Developer.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Advanced Custom Fields?

Some of its fields related to relational custom fields is not easy to be customized to meet WordPress average Developers. We cannot filter ajax load fields in conjunction with other values entered from users, so if a user entered country name states, lists will not change to meet the new country states. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Advanced Custom Fields solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company gets the benefits of using ACF with other plugins to make friendly admin panels for our customers so they can manage their websites with a more advanced dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing bad I could say about ACF. It is perfectly perfect in every essence. Only the learning curve for a new developer trying ACF for the first time may find it a little overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Advanced Custom Fields?

PRO version allows for integration of new WordPress Blocks for the drag and drop editor; easy ability to duplicate, clone, or use fields across different content types. Essential over the native Fields API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Advanced Custom Fields?

The 5.1 release branch locked out get_fields against use with any other meta keys that are not registered with ACF, so if you were using some functions as a shortcut, you might end up breaking your site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Advanced Custom Fields solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to build complex metadata structures for front-end applications; also, the ACF flexible content field allows us to produce rich but guided content creation processes where the absolute freedom of a drag and drop interface can detract from a design.

What do you like best about Advanced Custom Fields?

We have used Advanced Custom Fields with a number of themes as well as used it to build custom WordPress themes to achieve the final result the client desired. We have used custom fields from both a design and functionality standpoint. It enabled us to implement specific web app actions to essentially create a web app on a Wordpress website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Advanced Custom Fields?

The custom fields give you all the creativity you need, but at the same time makes building more complex. Without a developer on staff that understands ACF, we struggle to move as quick when building custom themes with ACF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Advanced Custom Fields solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have solved any custom WordPress feature or problem with ACF including web app actions and specific design functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Advanced Custom Fields solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've been using Oxygen Builder plugin on some client sites and having ACF has made adding fields for client updating of page/post data much easier. It allows us to give them editability in the backend without having to give them admin access, or access to the Oxygen plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
