Can I have the real ACF, please?

  • Where is the real ACF? I don’t want to take the risk of installing a knockoff.

    EDIT: fixed rating. The one-star review for SCF has maliciously been copied over to ACF

  • It is the real ACF, made by WP Engine

    only since some hours ago, I guess the review is from shortly before the restoration.

    Yes, it was SCF then. SCF got loads of negative revies, and MM copied those over to ACF, where they don’t belong at all. Y’all know whom to thank for this mess.

    that’s not exactly what happened.

    It was much simpler.

    Matt basically just took the entire entry of ACF on the repo, and only changed the author and files.that way reviews and more importantly, the install base are retained as wordpresses that have installed the ACF addon from this repo installed obviously check the entry on here whether to update and stuff.

    there was no need to copy any reviews.

    although by now SCF DOES have its individual listing tho likely because of the court order and considering that just a rebranded SCF Free doesnt have anything to compete with the original, Matt took it a step further and did a pretty much unpredecented move, he bypassed the Review Team and uploaded a rebrand of ACF PRO into that new listing, which while legal due to GPL, isnt what I would call ethical especially as the repo has mentioned that they wouldnt accept what are effectively reposts of premium plugins.
