Biggest opportunity: “acf”, “add on” and “admin” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →4.3%
of downloads still active
At least 8K of 185.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,187 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
75/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.
- Reviews souring. Recent reviews read meaningfully worse than older ones, an early sign of decline.

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.

Unmaintened plugin, not working with recent versions of ACF, Huge amount of bugs (WYSIWYG and IMAGE fields not working at all), completely break native ACF fields. This error was reported but no update since 10 month… It seem this plugin is abandoned and unusuable anymore

latest version of ACF pro ( 5.6 ) created a new issue on acf qtranslate code. Thanks to the comunity the developer managed to push in 5 days a new version that fix it… that’s how open source should work every time…. This topic was modified 8 years, 11 months ago by gfstudio.

Hello, I have installed latest wordpress with these three plugins: 1. qTranslate-X 2. Advanced Custom Fields 3. Advanced Custom Fields: qTranslate Now, I have created a custom field(text) showing on default page template. So, when I am putting content for one language and save it, it is working fine. But when I click on the second language tab, the text I put for previous language in that field is showing same. Means on changing tab, this custom field is not behaving like default title and content fields of page. Thanks, Sunil Chaudhary This topic was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by sunil.ch.

Just what I needed! Keep up the great work, much appreciated.

This plugin is simply great, and I just hope to see more fields type handled. For example having multi-language booleans would allow an admin to quickly hide one repeater node for selected languages, or multi-language checkboxes to flag language differently enabling differently. Keep up the good job, and thanks!
