We are thrilled to share that ACF PRO has once again been honored by The WP Awards, securing the top spot for this prestigious recognition for the fourth consecutive year! This success is a powerful testament to the value of creating and managing content with flexibility, and we owe a massive thank you to the global WordPress^Ⓡ[1] community for their continued support.

What are The WP Awards?

The WP Awards, presented by The WP Weekly, is a community-driven initiative that celebrates the best and brightest products and services within the WordPress ecosystem. 

Any person or company can submit a product or service as a nominee during the initial nomination period. Winners are chosen entirely by the community, allowing anyone to cast their votes. The WP Weekly allows only one vote per email and IP address to ensure the final result is truly reflective of the community’s preferences.

Categories for nominations include Page Builders, Block Builders, Form Plugins, SEO Plugins, Security Plugins, Developer Tools, and more. ACF PRO was nominated within the Dynamic Data Plugins category and earned more votes than any other plugin, regardless of category.

The power of ACF PRO for builders

ACF PRO is a powerful, developer-first tool that transforms the editing experience in WordPress. It gives you the power to define, manage, and display custom fields with an intuitive interface, speeding up content modeling workflows.

The ACF PRO feature set, including the Repeater field, Flexible Content field, and Options Pages, makes it simple for builders to create bespoke admin experiences, design a backend experience that matches a client’s needs, and enable content creators to manage complex data, including team members, pricing tables, or slideshows, without touching code.

ACF Blocks are also helping more users harness the power of the block editor, allowing them to create dynamic, PHP-based blocks that provide the simplicity of the block editor while maintaining full developer control over structure and design. The team has recently shipped major updates to ACF Blocks, introducing Version 3 and Inline Editing to further improve the editing experience for content editors.

ACF PRO first earned placement on The WP Awards list in 2021. That year, it won the Dynamic Data Plugins category and came in second place overall, trailing The Admin Bar by fewer than 30 votes. Each year since, ACF PRO has secured the most votes overall across all categories. 

Thank you to the community

To the builders, developers, and users who rely on our tools every day, and especially to the 672 individuals who cast their votes for ACF PRO this year, thank you. Your support is invaluable, and your feedback will continue to guide the future of the product. 

The constant feedback and enthusiasm from the community fuel WP Engine’s dedication to providing best-in-class tools, and all credit for this award belongs to our incredible ACF team.
