We have been made aware that the Advanced Custom Fields plugin on the WordPress directory has been taken over by WordPress dot org.
A plugin under active development has never been unilaterally and forcibly taken away from its creator without consent in the 21 year history of WordPress.

We were saddened and appalled by Matt Mullenweg’s actions this morning appropriating the Advanced Custom Fields plugin that our ACF team has been actively developing for the WordPress community since 2011.

Our ACF plugin has been taken over forcibly by wordpressdotorg without our consent.
If you are a WP Engine, Flywheel or ACF PRO customer, you do not need to take any action and will continue to get the latest from the ACF team.
If you have a site managed elsewhere using ACF, in order to get ACF updates you must perform a 1-time download of the genuine 6.3.8 version via advancedcustomfields.com to remain safe in the future. The update servers for wordpressdotorg are no longer controlled by the ACF team.

You’ve been trusting ACF for over a decade. The experts that maintain ACF will continue to support and enhance the capabilities that our users love and trust.

We're pleased to share that our team has had account access restored on WordPress dot org along with control of the ACF plugin repo.
This means all ACF users can rest assured that the ACF team you trust is once again maintaining the plugin.
There’s no action required if you have installed ACF directly from the ACF website or you are an ACF PRO user.

10 years ago, a little plugin called Advanced Custom Fields popped onto the WordPress.org repository hoping to help a few like-minded developers.
Those “few” grew to 2M 📈🎉
Join us in celebrating 10 brilliant years with 10 tweets of brilliant features found in ACF!
