WordPress has introduced a fork of the popular Advanced Custom Fields plugin, now named Secure Custom Fields, to eliminate commercial upsells and address a security issue.
Matt Mullenweg mentioned invoking plugin directory guidelines to justify the action taken against ACF, citing ongoing legal disputes with WP Engine.
WP Engine's ACF team argued that WordPress's move is unprecedented, as they have never forcibly taken a plugin from its creator without consent.
The ACF plugin enhances WordPress by allowing creators to utilize custom fields where built-in options are limited, making it more user-friendly.
