Advanced Custom Fields: Archive Templates

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Both reviewers say it works as expected, though one shares a code tweak they needed to get the right admin menu item to expand.

   Thank you for your contribution, but in order to expand the correct menu item, I had to make some edits to your plugin: /** * Load the ACF Assets only on archive options page * @param string $hook_suffix * @return void */ public function admin_enqueue_scripts( $hook_suffix ) { $screen = get_current_screen(); if ( strpos($_GET['page'], 'archive-options') !== FALSE ) { acf_enqueue_scripts(); } } /** * Add ACF menu page for each custom post type * * @param string $label * @param string $menu */ private function add_menu( $label, $menu, $post_type ) { $page_name = sprintf( __( '%s Archive', 'acf-archive' ), $label); $options = [ 'parent_slug' => $menu, 'page_title' => $page_name, 'menu_title' => $page_name, 'capability' => 'edit_posts', 'menu_slug' => 'archive-options-'.$post_type, ]; add_submenu_page( $options['parent_slug'], $options['page_title'], $options['menu_title'], $options['capability'], $options['menu_slug'], [ $this, 'render_menu' ] ); } /** * Check if we are in the current post type for showing the fields. * * @param $match * @param $rule * @param $options * @return bool */ public function location_rules_match_archive( $match, $rule, $options ) { if ( ! isset( $_GET['post_type'] ) || ! isset( $_GET['page'] ) ) { return $match; } return $_GET['post_type'] == $rule['value'] && strpos($_GET['page'], 'archive-options') !== FALSE; } This topic was modified 6 years, 3 months ago by Theo Platica.
