Gutenberg Blocks – ACF Blocks Suite

Early reviewers loved the block library and the time it saved, but the newest reviews complain that it doesn't pull from ACF fields at all, that support went unanswered, and that the plugin ships a lot of bundled weight.

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.

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.

5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 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 · 97% 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 64% of the way through.

   i was thought they will support dynamic content, i mean these widgets will fetch data from ACF fields.

   Extremely disappointed. This is an ACF plugin and when I try to add something like a slider, instead of asking which field (or repeater) it should find the images from (ya know, ACF fields??) it opens the media library to manually add images. Uh, this plugin is a massive disconnect from what ACF is used for.

   We left a support question a week ago but not reply. We also contacted them through their website form and again no reply. They are using ACF logo / branding which is quite confusing. Eventually we contacted the real ACF Team who confirmed they were not related to this plugin. We were almost going for it but we needed to make sure support was there and we got our answer. We will gladly change this review if you guys seriously support your creation. This topic was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by ads.

   Even the free version is awesome. Lots of awesome blocks not available elsewhere, and I love that it’s built on top of ACF. This topic was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by Andre Gagnon.

   Reviewing the codebase it doesn’t seem healthy to use this in my opinion.. including all this code in the ‘Freemius’ folder is really necessary? The blocks themselves seem good, but the plugin is super heavy overall and it feels to me like theres too many extra code not related to the actual functionality of the plugin itself.
