Install/Update Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Free and NOT SCF

ACF Free Hostile Takeover:    • Advanced Custom Fields Free Fork (or ...  

In this video, I explain the recent changes with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and how it has been rebranded as Secure Custom Fields (SCF) in the WordPress.org repository.

If you're an ACF free user, you might have noticed this change when trying to update your plugin. But don't worry, I'll walk you through the steps to ensure you're using the correct version of ACF, maintained by WP Engine, and not the SCF version from Automattic.

What You'll Learn:
Why ACF is now showing as SCF in WordPress updates.
The implications of updating to SCF instead of ACF.
How to manually update to the correct version of ACF.
How to revert back to ACF if you've already updated to SCF.
Why this issue doesn't affect ACF Pro users.

Key Steps:
1. Download the latest version of ACF from the official WP Engine site.
2. Manually upload and install the correct version in WordPress.
3. Ensure future updates come from the right source.

If you're using an older version of Advanced Custom Fields (6.3.6 or earlier), or if you've accidentally updated to SCF, this video will guide you through the process of getting back on track with the official ACF plugin.
