Biggest opportunity: Swap “acf”, “custom fields” and “custom post types” for “content framework”, “cut” and “framework”. “acf” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “content framework” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom fields” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cut” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom post types” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “framework” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 3K of 101.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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 4 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.

This plugin has lots to offer compared to buying many other plugins to get the same functionality done. Definetly recommend.

Sounds good until you need assistance. Overall the whole cubewp looked great but in the end we will move on to something else This topic was modified 2 years, 6 months ago by jensenjim124.

We used CubeWP to build out a custom website that would have cost thousands of dollars in custom coding. CubeWP is my official go-to for anything outside of the box for WordPress.

A great plugin especially for directory and classified websites

CubeWP is a very good plugin that does exactly what I need. It allows me to create custom post types, custom fields, link them together and add them to my website using Bricks Builder. The plugin is clean and fast and I look forward to using it on many more projects to come!

Extremely powerful and flexible. Purchased it for Custom Post Types, Custom Fields, and Custom Taxonomies, and that’s just scratching the surface.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ marzz18993.1y ago
I have been using CubeWP for a while now and I would definitely recommend it. Yes it has a small learning curve to it but even if you are not a developper you will master it in one day, two max (I am not a developer). Their support team and especially Ricky have been very helpful and they respond quickly. Would more than recommend as an alternative to ACF.
