ACF: Star Rating Field

Reviewers like the idea of a rating field inside ACF and find it quick to set up, though several ask for things it doesn't do yet, like resetting votes, average results and rich snippets, and a few say the docs left them stuck or unsure about newer ACF versions.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

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.

2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #11,300 to #12,900, alongside the other plugins at 200+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

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.

Crossed into this band 3 months ago and the previous band took 15 months to cross, so the real count is still just under 300.

   It is a very useful plugin – really a good idea to have integrate such rating as ACF field.. Nevertheless it would be nice to can reset votes. Or maybe did I miss something ?

   I think this is a great concept, but pretty useless for my application. Easy enough for the developer to fix though…. All I want is an easy to use interface for creating star ratings. For my use only (admin/editor). Example: Review Ratings. Overall Rating: ****** Comfort: ***** Style: ***** Price: ***** Only needs to be interactive for an admin or editor that is drafting the review. Not the site visitors. This add-on installed easy and looks easy to use. But I could not select any of the stars when drafting my reviews. It is a user rating system only. If you guys update it. Please message me. I might still use this if you can make it apply to drafting posts only.

   This extension does not work. I can’t rate a post. Just display number after reading documentation.

   Very handy when adding in reviews to ACF. Simple to use and implement. Robust though a little difficult to get raw data out of.
