ACF Tooltip

47 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

With roughly 1,000 active installs, this is a long-tail utility plugin, though the install count is healthy for such a narrow feature.

Update Freshness

4/25

The plugin was last updated in late December 2024 and is tested against WordPress 6.7.5, indicating reasonably current maintenance, but it still trails full recency.

User Rating

15/15

The 100/100 score reflects only 5 ratings, which is enthusiastic but far too small a sample to be conclusive.

Support Health

8/15

There are zero support threads recorded and zero resolved, signalling no proven track record of responsive help if something breaks in the future.

WP Compatibility

8/15

Compatibility with WordPress 6.7.5 is confirmed, but PHP version is not declared, which is a minor transparency gap.

What It Does

ACF Tooltip transforms the default field instructions displayed beneath Advanced Custom Fields inputs into lightweight hover tooltips, keeping the editing screen tidier. Field authors can toggle the behaviour globally or per field. It requires ACF Pro (or a compatible fork) to be installed and active.

Who It's For

This plugin suits ACF-heavy sites with long, in-line help text or large admin forms where the default instruction labels crowd the input area. It is most useful for editorial teams, real estate and medical listings, and any backend where a cleaner post editing screen matters more than feature breadth.

Who Should Skip It

If your ACF fields already use short instructions or you prefer showing help text inline for accessibility, you can skip this plugin and avoid yet another small dependency on your site.

The Bottom Line

ACF Tooltip is a focused, narrowly useful plugin that does one visible thing well, and its overall quality score of 50.74/100 is dragged down more by limited traction and a no-PHP-declared profile than by actual problems. It is a reasonable choice for ACF shops wanting cleaner edit screens, but buyers should accept they are relying on a small, recently active maintainer.
