Flexible Content Extended for Advanced Custom Fields

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 96% 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.

Reviewers say it makes ACF flexible content easier to organise, with the layout preview modal getting the most praise, and one asks for a way to turn off the modal edit.

   Hi Jameel, I really like yor plugin and the php 8 update. I was wondering, it would be nice if it was possible to switch off the pencil edit/ modal, functionality. I mostly use the plugin for the image preview modal. The modal edit function is nice (sometimes) but sometimes I need to have an overview of de layout content on the page and this is not possible if the modal edit is active, thanks. Xander

   Adds great user experience when using the flexible content field to add layouts. Lets you add screenshots of each layout to give the admin a nice preview of exactly what they are adding vs just using the names of the layout. Easy to implement and bug free.
