Biggest opportunity: Swap “acf”, “google fonts” and “custom field” for “decoration”, “decorations” and “field”. “acf” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “decoration” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google fonts” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “decorations” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom field” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “field” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →6.9%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 43.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “acf”, “google fonts” and “custom field” for “decoration”, “decorations” and “field”. “acf” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “decoration” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google fonts” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “decorations” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom field” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “field” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “advanced custom fields”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “custom field”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Great but font-weight changes are not taken into account in google fonts call…
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ proyinfo3.7y ago
Works very well. However, on the Font API settings page, you could add some instruction to get the key.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ AndyiBM4.2y ago
Had a specific requirement to select a custom font on a single page template, and this plugged into the existing ACF interface on the page. Worked well. Probably ought to be a standard ACF field.
