Gutenberg Blocks – ACF Blocks Suite

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

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.

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.

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.

   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.
