Viptor Says: Celebrating Ten Years of ACF and Embracing Changes

Hello, WordPress developers, users, and overall lovers! I am bringing some news, both sad and exciting, at the same time. As we all know, life is full of celebrates and losses. It is down to us to decide how we are going to react to them. In my opinion, it is always better to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Change is the only constant in life, and we should embrace that philosophy today!

ACF’s Birthday

Elliot Condon launched the Advanced Custom Fields plugin (known as ACF) a little over ten years ago! It has been a decade full of adventures, not only for Elliot but for WordPress development agencies, WordPress developers, and users, as well. ACF has become a top editing solution. The plugin makes it possible to build websites faster and react to your clients’ needs quicker.

We all love a well-crafted and unique plugin that helps us find solutions. Hence, we are celebrating these ten years of ACF too. Anything that contributes to the WordPress universe is valuable and of great importance to all of us. But as we all know, nothing ever stays the same, and we should learn to welcome changes with open hearts.

What is changing?

Delicious Brains Inc is a software company with a long history of building WordPress plugins. They have many projects behind their back that have contributed to the WordPress community. Here comes the exciting news! Elliot Condon announced that their team of professionals will now be the new owner of Advanced Custom Fields!

The company has developed WordPress products of the highest quality, such as WP Migrate PRO. Therefore, we believe that ACF’s future is in the right hands – it seems bright and full of opportunities. The plugin’s needs expanded, and it has become harder for Elliot to navigate such a powerful tool alone. Our WordPress development agency believes that the right decision is to take the necessary steps to grow your product’s potential.

What to expect?

WordPress community is courageous and supportive. We always make sure everyone feels understood. Hence, we encourage Elliot Condon in his decision, and we are eternally grateful for all of the hard work and dedication he put in contributing to WordPress. His new role will be to assist the team of specialists in DB to keep that project always up to date.

We are sure that whatever he decides to do after, it will be the right thing. ACF is now in the hands of top professionals – everyone can expect nothing less than the best. Anyhow, if you want to learn more, do not hesitate to listen to this podcast episode. You will hear Brad Touesnard (the CEO of Delicious Brains) and Elliot Condon discussing everything about these changes. That is what the professionals from our WordPress development agency will be doing now, for sure!
