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.

Overview

About this plugin

Image Preview for ACF Field is a WordPress plugin that enhances the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) experience by adding visual help images and full galleries to your fields. When users click or hover on a help icon next to an ACF field, a modal popup appears showing a relevant help image or an interactive image slider!
