Biggest opportunity: “acf”, “advanced custom field” and “number” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 14.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,321 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals

- Long abandoned. No update in 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.19.

How it's tracked →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.

| number your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

This plugin is a must-have addition to ACF. Honestly I think ACF developers should work on something like this, since this one seems to be abandoned. I’ve been using it for years, it had some small issues like duplicated sliders, but current version of WordPress (or other plugin that was causing the issue) solved it. My project would not be the same without it, so thank you very much.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Gabor Lippert9.7y ago
That’s really a great idea – unfortunately the plugin in its current form can not be used on a production site of high end clients. Reasons: 1. Displayed initial value is zero – however it’s clearly set on the field settings panel to a specific value ( 400 in my own case ). The value gets corrected as soon as the slider gets clicked and moved. 2. Sliders twins – more specifically some sliders are generated twice. 3. There’s no option to define a default value.

I used the field in CSS for the opacity of an overlay effect. I think the styles of the slider should be inherited from the user color scheme rather than the green color included in the plugin.

Just what I want, adds a slider to ACF field options. I would suggest these improvements: – A default value – When the slider loads in it is at 0, even if the min value is > 0 it should load in at 20 for example.

Just what I needed for a client site. Works great! I’m using ACF pro version 5.1.5 and it works as expected.

This is a really awesome plugin for Advanced Custom Fields. Works exactly how you’d expect. One thing I would like to see is a redesign to be in-keeping with WordPress and AFC’s styles. You can detect the users current color scheme to change the sliders styles.. get_user_meta(get_current_user_id(), 'admin_color', true);
