Biggest opportunity: Swap “import”, “woocommerce” and “acf” for “csv data”, “scf” and “csv import”. “import” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “csv data” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “scf” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “acf” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “csv import” 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 →3.6%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 11.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 864 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds 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 15 releases 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 “import”, “woocommerce” and “acf” for “csv data”, “scf” and “csv import”. “import” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “csv data” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “scf” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “acf” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “csv import” 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 “csv”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Worked as expected with quite complex ACF repeater data, so very pleased with the plugin. Had to contact support a couple of times and they were both fast and helpful with responses, even taking on board a small improvement suggestion we made. Great stuff.

This plugin worked perfectly mapping my CSV file to ACF fields. I initially used the free plugin but needed the PRO for some additional mapping of ACF fields with a Field Type of Group. After purchase I had a small issue and contacted support late on a week night. Their support responded within a half hour and helped me resolve the issue. You have to take care in setting up your CSV to map properly but once set up the plugin works great. I tested a single row in the CSV file and got that working before committing to the entire set of rows. This plugin is a bargain compared to others in this area. The support is stellar! I highly recommend!

Very simple, easy to understand and very easy to use. It has a higher success rate than other plug-ins with similar functionality. I would not use any other plugin again.

Great plugin, easy to use and very useful Thanx!

this worked for me. I saw there was no reviews and barely any installs. It worked for me and seemed legit so far. It didn’t import images but it did connect the text and text area fields from my spreadsheet with acf.
