I attend a few WordPress events each year, big and small, and few products get the kind of love Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even at WordCamp Europe<\/a> last month in Turin, Italy, I had more conversations with developers about how they use ACF than any other tool in the space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is, ACF is widely used and widely loved, and we know the plan we\u2019re building to improve it over the next 12 months is being eagerly watched! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re one of those eagerly-watching users, our annual ACF Developer Survey<\/a> is your chance to provide feedback and input about how you use ACF, your preferences in your approach to architecture, your favorite features, and things you think are missing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these inputs are highly valuable for our team as we prioritize our backlog and focus on the next phase of ACF innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survey is currently open, and we want to collect as much information as possible from as many ACF users as possible. Our product teams are incredibly connected to the ACF user base and have solid insights, but nothing beats hearing directly from the builders who use it every day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click here<\/a> to fill out the survey. If you know of others in the industry whose insights would be valuable, please share the link with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will publish an aggregated and anonymized version of the results soon after the data is collected, which will provide deeper insights into the current state of development with ACF and WordPress. You can find insights from last year\u2019s survey here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
