What is Advanced Custom Fields?

Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) is the most widely used custom fields plugin for WordPress, trusted by hundreds of thousands of developers and agencies worldwide. It lets you add custom field groups to posts, pages, users, taxonomies, and options pages — turning WordPress into a fully flexible content management system.

ACF is developed and maintained by WP Engine. The free version is available on wordpress.org, with a Pro version that adds repeater fields, flexible content layouts, gallery fields, options pages, and the ACF Blocks API for Gutenberg.

Awesome ACF is an independent, curated directory that catalogues 240+ third-party extensions, guides, code snippets, and video tutorials — making it the most comprehensive ACF resource on the web. Our listings are synced weekly from wordpress.org to keep ratings, install counts, and version data up to date.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many ACF extensions are there?

Awesome ACF currently lists 240 extensions across categories including field types, admin UI enhancements, integrations, and developer tools. Of these, 77 are free plugins hosted on wordpress.org that we sync weekly for the latest ratings and install data.

What are the most popular ACF extensions?

The most popular third-party ACF extensions by active installs include Font Awesome (100k+), the Extended plugin (100k+), and Content Analysis for Yoast SEO (100k+). For premium extensions, ACF Custom Database Tables and Advanced Forms Pro from Hookturn are widely used in professional projects.

Is ACF still actively maintained?

Yes. ACF is actively developed by WP Engine with regular updates, security patches, and new features. It remains the most popular custom fields solution for WordPress. The plugin should not be confused with SCF (Secure Custom Fields), a community fork created during the 2024 WP Engine/Automattic dispute — ACF is the original, actively maintained product.

Who maintains Awesome ACF?

Awesome ACF is maintained by Hookturn, an Australian development studio that builds premium ACF extensions. We created this directory to give the ACF community a central place to discover extensions and learning resources.
