71 Quality Score
Active Installs
14/30

At 1,000 active installs and a popularity score of 45/30, this is a niche utility with a small but steady user base rather than a broadly adopted tool.

Update Freshness
25/25

Maintenance scores 88/25 with an update on 2025-11-13 and compatibility tested against WordPress 6.8.6, signalling that the author is actively keeping pace with core releases.

User Rating
10/15

The 68/100 rating from 16 reviews is middling: users find it functional enough to keep installed, but not enough to rave about, and the small sample size limits confidence.

Support Health
8/15

Support health sits at 50/15 because there are 0 public support threads and 0 resolved tickets, so there is essentially no community-driven help available if something breaks.

WP Compatibility
15/15

Compatibility scores 75/15 thanks to a current WordPress 6.8.6 test pass and a forgiving PHP 7.0 minimum, though older PHP requirements can be a warning sign for security-conscious hosts.

What It Does

Simple Export Import for ACF Data lets you export and import WordPress pages, posts, and custom post types along with their Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) metadata. It generates files that preserve the relationship between content and custom field values, so a page and its ACF data travel together rather than leaving fields orphaned after import. In practice, it functions as a lightweight migration tool for sites whose content depends heavily on ACF.

Who It's For

This plugin suits small to mid-sized WordPress sites whose content is built on ACF and need to move posts, pages, or custom post types between installations, such as staging-to-production pushes or cloning a listing template across property pages. It also fits agencies handling a handful of client sites that need quick content transfers without standing up a full WP All Import workflow.

Who Should Skip It

If you are running large-scale migrations, scheduled imports from external data sources, or need media files, taxonomies, and user accounts moved alongside content, you should skip this plugin in favour of a more capable solution. Developers and teams requiring reliable, audited imports for mission-critical data will also find the lack of public support threads a deal-breaker.

The Bottom Line

With an overall quality score of 64.48/100, this plugin is a competent but unexceptional ACF-aware export/import tool that gets the job done for simple, small-scale moves. The fresh maintenance record is a positive, but the 0 resolved support threads and modest user base mean you are relying almost entirely on the solo author. Use it for lightweight, one-off ACF content transfers, and reach for a heavier-duty tool once your migration grows beyond a few dozen items.
