ACF Page Builder Field

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

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.

Reviewers who just need ACF-driven Page Builder fields say it works well, while others hit snags with Google Maps settings, option pages, stray element IDs breaking styling, and the undocumented ACF Pro requirement.

   Used it to quickly add the flexible set of WP widgets to the page edit admin screen within minutes. ACF Page Builder Field works like a charm. The great interface between ACF and Page Builer without excessive Page Builder UI but with all its power avaiuilable and controlled by ACF. Thank you a lot, guys:) This topic was modified 7 years, 10 months ago by wherejuly. This topic was modified 7 years, 10 months ago by wherejuly.

   I tried testing this and would have been ok ok if not for the fact that the very feature I need is wonky. Google Maps is not saving the custom style, and cannot deactivate zoom scroll and dragging action. Had to revert back to hard coding the Google Maps JS API.

   Appends an id to all page builder elements on a post/page, including those not generated with the support of this plugin. Causes Page Builder styling to be blown away, as the plugin styles on a per id basis, and anyhow this plugin shouldn’t have a hand in anything that it isn’t supposed to be directly associated with.

   I was wondering why the “Page Builder” field wasn’t showing up and wasted my time troubleshooting. Then I saw a forum post stating that this plugin only works with the PRO version of ACF. I appreciate the developers making this available, so thank you for that. Please update the plugin description so that other users will not waste their time.
