Biggest opportunity: “acf” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 20.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,191 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.9.20.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| acf your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| admin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

It more-or-less does what it says but, without updates for 3 years and some PHP errors (if you run in on PHP8), I’d go a different route. Much safer to do your calculations on ACF fields in your own code than rely on a plugin that’s obviously been abandoned. The “maintainer” should probably pull this one from wordpress.org. This topic was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by tim52.

If you want to fix the plugin to work on the front-end you will have to rename the /wp-content/plugins/calculated-fields-for-acf/admin/assets/calculated-fields-for-acf.js to ml/wp-content/plugins/calculated-fields-for-acf/admin/assets/calculated-fields-for-acf.min.js The plugin wasn’t working on the front-end because the calculated-fields-for-acf.min.js wasn’t load because it doesn’t exist.

I’ve wasted hours trying to get this to work again. My entire proposal system is dependent on it, but the last two versions rendered my estimates worthless. I reached out weeks ago and was simply ignored. If there was another plugin out there, I’d jump right in.

I’m impressed with this plugin because it runs perfectly on the backend.. but it’s very disappointing because it can’t work on the frontend
