Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records FieldLock Sync Guard for ACF version 1.1.0 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
FieldLock Sync Guard for ACF detects ACF field-group JSON files that do not yet exist in the WordPress database or have a newer modified timestamp. While a sync is pending, it:
Shows an administrator notice with a link to ACF’s sync screen.
Lists each pending field group and explains why it needs syncing.
Disables the Update button on ACF field-group edit screens.
Shows an inline explanation and sync link on locked edit screens.
Blocks normal field-group saves on the server.
Private Local JSON files are ignored. Detection is cached briefly and runs only in the WordPress administrator. The plugin works with ACF and ACF PRO, and does not include ACF.
FieldLock Sync Guard for ACF is an independent compatibility plugin and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the owners of ACF or ACF PRO.
The plugin makes no remote requests, collects no telemetry, and contains no upsells.
