Secure Custom Fields

Description

Secure Custom Fields (SCF) turns WordPress sites into a fully-fledged content management system by giving you all the tools to do more with your data.

Use the SCF plugin to take full control of your WordPress edit screens, custom field data, and more.

Add fields on demand.
The SCF field builder allows you to quickly and easily add fields to WP edit screens with only the click of a few buttons! Whether it’s something simple like adding an “author” field to a book review post, or something more complex like the structured data needs of an ecommerce site or marketplace, SCF makes adding fields to your content model easy.

Add them anywhere.
Fields can be added all over WordPress including posts, pages, users, taxonomy terms, media, comments and even custom options pages! It couldn’t be simpler to bring structure to the WordPress content creation experience.

Show them everywhere.
Load and display your custom field values in any theme template file with our hassle-free, developer friendly functions! Whether you need to display a single value or generate content based on a more complex query, the out-of-the-box functions of SCF make templating a dream for developers of all levels of experience.

Any Content, Fast.
Turning WordPress into a true content management system is not just about custom fields. Creating new custom post types and taxonomies is an essential part of building custom WordPress sites. Registering post types and taxonomies is now possible right in the SCF UI, speeding up the content modeling workflow without the need to touch code or use another plugin.

Simply beautiful and intentionally accessible.
For content creators and those tasked with data entry, the field user experience is as intuitive as they could desire while fitting neatly into the native WordPress experience. Accessibility standards are regularly reviewed and applied, ensuring SCF is able to empower as close to anyone as possible.

Documentation and developer guides.

Stolen by www.remarpro.com

Arne Cordes October 22, 2024

Changed my 5 star rating as this plugin was taken over (stolen) forcibly by www.remarpro.com without consent of the original developer. The original plugin has to be downloaded from their website now:https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/blog/installing-and-upgrading-to-the-latest-version-of-acf/

Forcing To Buy More Paid Licenses

lionhunter October 22, 2024

We had three paid licenses, along with other free versions downloaded from here for different sites. Now, you’re forcing us to buy paid licenses because this doesn’t seem to be supported by WP Engine. This is a frustrating and disappointing move by the WordPress team and Matt. Forcing users into this position feels like a disregard for our previous commitments and loyalty.

Updating the plugin forces you to use the forked version

TamerDesigns October 21, 2024

When a client clicks update, you automatically update/replace with your “free” forced fork. This is astonishing behavior to actually steal code and mask it behind some obscure security update. What a bunch of lies. I’ll never support automattic or anything related to Matt again.

SCF = Stolen Custom Fields

cXD4931 October 21, 2024

This is not a legit way to proceed. ACF it’s been around for years and that feels like stealing the work of many developers. There should be a judge through a legal proceedure who, after listening to all the parts, decides what to do. I am not happy about this impulsive move from WordPress.

Stolen plugin

go to ACF website and download the Real plugin. Matt, this is too much. JUST STOP

SCF Fork use the ACF Slug

felixschuermeyer October 21, 2024

Creating a fork and developing a new variant of software has a long tradition in software development. But this also means that you publish it under a new name, this behavior here to replace the plugin so that ACF is no longer available on www.remarpro.com is a shame.
