Install/Update Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Free and NOT SCF

Thanks. Just switched back from "Stolen Custom Fields" to ACF ;-)

Thanks for the info!

If the appropriated version of ACF is to be built into the core, will that cause a conflict with the free ACF version and ACF pro?

Quick question, if our theme we use is having ACF Pro included, this should be fine, I guess, as they are updating it. Correct?

Very helpful, thanks

Let's be honest acf is basically ui wrapper for custom fields in WP. So call it stolen probably incorrect. And from what i heard acf was bought with wp engine from another company.

Honestly I tend to grab Pods before ACF…I use both but I just prefer Pods..they both do pretty much the same thing but Pods has a few more tricks up it’s sleeve that ACF doesn’t ( example: content types,taxonomies and custom fields can be assigned their own unique database instead of being dumped into the default wp one, it also has a nice templating system to output data with “magic tags”)..and it’s been around as long as (if not longer than) ACF

Thanks for speaking out! Much needed

After all this, WP is done. I have invested considerable money in the WP ecosystem (Bricks, ACSS, ETCH, etc.), but I have had it with this. This is not a professional platform anymore.
For stability and serious systems, WP will never be an option longer. Matt killed it!

I'm so happy that I unsubscribed from this woke channel. Talking trash about Matt in the comments here, because the person is trying to give back more, by proceting Wordpress. Stop posting trash content about Wordpress, every content creator is talking about the same trash, if you don't like what Wordpress is doing, then go find yourself something else. Why are you trying to post video after video about this issue? Be original, not a copy cat of what others is talking about. ACF, ACF ACF, blabla, dude relax and move on.

Paul’s expertise shines once again! His clear and thorough guidance makes navigating the ACF changes a breeze. Always a step ahead, he’s the go-to for anyone looking to master WordPress with confidence.

in WP repo reviews, people are already calling SCF "Stolen Custom Fields"

Matt is Mad 🤨😅

Stolen Custom Fields

I'm just thankful that I got a grandfathered in ACF Pro licence for unlimited sites. I'm just slinging that on everything now.

I’m happy to be a Meta Box user. It’s also significantly smaller in plugin size, you can toggle all parts of it’s functionality On/Off, and it writes one row into the db instead of two (like ACF). The only downside you may say is it’s UI. It’s less of an eye-candy, but whatever.

But what’s wrong with updating SCF?

We dont need ACF, just huild your own solution. A hard truth is that this companies will be no longer needed. In our business, we use to buy plugins. Now we use problem solving thinking employees with AI to build our stuff. The development budget decreased significantly im 2024 and things are getting better and better every day.

You're doing the lord's work!

Thnx paul your tut worked for me 💪

Thank you for your information and keeping us updated -- it's appreciated... the folks who have taken over and created an issue with the everyday user can go to hell.

Why users have to deal with all this crap😢
