ACF: Google Font Selector

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 · 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.

Early reviewers loved it and called it a needed addition to ACF, while the more recent ones say it's broken without a manual fix, with API errors, display problems, and no updates from the author.

   It works like a charm with a quick fix : https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preview-display-bug-fix/ Should really be updated by the author because it’s absolutely what we need with ACF !

   Great plugin in concept, but it seems like it needs to be updated in order for it to work. The API keeps saying that it is incorrect. Also, in the ACF it doesn’t seem to display what it is supposed to. Very unfortunate. I was looking forward for a plugin like this.

   Doesn’t work — 🙁 —, probably due to the fact that there were no plugin updates in the past 2 years. Abandoned? This topic was modified 9 years, 1 month ago by Gabor Lippert.

   Just downloaded and installed it as a plugin. Works fine, I was able to add it as a field in my advanced custom fields UI. Only thing I regret : there is no preview for font. That would be a nice feature to consider for a future version (I’m using it on multisite, and I want my customers to be able to preview font before chosing it). Anyway, nice work and thank you, that plugin was needed in the ACF environment.
