ACF Drama: Why You Need to Switch Back to the Real Deal
The ACF team is fighting back after Matt Mullenweg swapped their trusted plugin on WordPress.org with unapproved code. They’re urging users of the free version to download ACF 6.3.8 from the official website to stay secure.
The ACF team is not thrilled with Matt Mullenweg’s recent move, swapping their beloved plugin on WordPress.org with some unapproved code. ACF has been a powerhouse plugin since 2011, carefully maintained by WP Engine to meet the needs of its huge user base, and they aren’t about to let this slide.
If you’re using the free version of ACF, don’t worry! You just need to grab version 6.3.8 from the official ACF site. After that, updates will roll out like normal.
Already upgraded to “Secure Custom Fields”? No biggie, you can easily switch back to the authentic ACF plugin. Mullenweg’s actions raise some serious questions about the future of the WordPress ecosystem, but rest assured, the ACF team has your back. Got questions? Give us a shout and we’ll be happy to help.
