Advanced Custom Fields: Archive Templates

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

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

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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.

Crossed into this band 4 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 70% of the way through.

   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.
