What It Does

Ajax Load More for Advanced Custom Fields is a free add-on for the Ajax Load More plugin that surfaces ACF field values inside infinite scroll and AJAX-loaded queries. It lets site owners display repeater fields, relationship fields, and other custom metadata without reloading the page. In practice, it extends an existing infinite scroll setup rather than working as a standalone solution.

Who It's For

This plugin is aimed at developers and site builders already running Ajax Load More and Advanced Custom Fields who need their custom field data to render inside AJAX-paginated loops. It fits content-heavy sites such as real estate listings, job boards, product catalogs, and portfolios that rely on ACF for the bulk of their structured content. If you need to paginate thousands of ACF-driven entries without sacrificing custom field display, this is the niche it serves.

Who Should Skip It

If you are not already using Ajax Load More, this plugin does nothing on its own and is not worth installing. Sites that paginate fewer than a few dozen posts, or that use standard post meta instead of ACF, will not benefit from adding this extension.

The Bottom Line

Ajax Load More for Advanced Custom Fields does one focused job and does it well within its narrow scope, scoring 69.45 out of 100 overall. It is the right pick only for sites already committed to both Ajax Load More and ACF that need seamless field rendering in AJAX loops. For anyone else, the lack of standalone utility and limited support footprint make it a non-starter.
