Admin Columns for ACF Fields

53 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

With roughly 9,000 active installs, this is a modestly popular niche utility that serves a specific subset of ACF users.

Update Freshness

5/25

Last updated in January 2025 and tested against WordPress 6.7.5, the plugin appears current, but a low maintenance score suggests limited ongoing development activity.

User Rating

15/15

A 98 out of 100 rating from 20 reviewers is excellent, though the small sample size makes it less statistically reliable.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads, whether resolved or open, indicates either very few issues or very low engagement from the developer on the WordPress.org forum.

WP Compatibility

8/15

It works with current WordPress but requires PHP 5.6.2, which is well below modern standards and may signal older code patterns.

What It Does

This plugin adds columns to WordPress admin post and taxonomy listings that display the values of Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) fields. Instead of clicking into each post to see custom field data, you can view, sort, and filter that information directly from the posts or terms table.

Who It's For

This is best for site managers running custom post type workflows who rely heavily on ACF and need quick visual access to field values across dozens or hundreds of entries, such as real estate listings, event directories, job boards, or product catalogs.

Who Should Skip It

If you only have a handful of posts or rarely view your custom fields in list form, this plugin adds unnecessary complexity. Sites already using the Admin Columns plugin or ACF Extended can achieve the same column functionality without an extra dependency.

The Bottom Line

Admin Columns for ACF Fields does one specific job and does it well according to its small group of reviewers, earning a quality score of 55.88 out of 100. The narrow feature scope and very small install base mean most users are better served by Admin Columns or ACF Extended, which provide similar functionality within broader toolkits. Consider this only if you want a lightweight, dedicated ACF column add-on and prefer not to install a larger plugin.
