What kind of support do you provide?

Support Forums. Our Community Forums provide a great resource for searching and finding previously answered and asked support questions. You may create a new thread on these forums, however, it is not guaranteed that you will receive an answer from our support team. This is more of an area for developers to talk to one another, post ideas, plugins and provide basic help. View the Support Forum

The plugin is great! It has one of the best support teams I have ever worked with and although I’m still having some issues, I’m sure that we will manage to get everything working perfectly soon!

After upgrade, all acf fields (shortcodes) NOT SHOWING content in public view (users) BUT displayed correct on admin edit post. If in wp post edit mode, i save the post again … then the problem gets fixed. Only if Rollback plugin to version 5.11.1 everything works fine

This can be one of the best plugins there, yeah many people is using it and they do their job off course. But I will go with Metabox! One is faster and has cleaner code, better performance on queries. ACF adds bloat and the worst of all is that their support is the worst I have seen in Worpdress ! All their answers are with Affiliate Codeable links !!! I have opened 4 times a ticket with basic questions and all four times they promote codeable and no answer back to my issue. Now they request from lifetime users to support this plugin by buying again the plugin licence to support the development. I would do that if your support was not that terrible! Goodbye ACF I hope other users will understand that

How on earth did they manage to do that, even on the Pro version of the plugin… removing how the core get_field() function used to work without an email to pro users…

A great plugin for adding custom fields to your site and creating one-page sites. Capabilities are limited without the repeater which is in the pro version.
