Importing and editing field content
Importing and editing are represented by plugins with different adoption and update signals.
Really Simple CSV Importer has 40,000 active installs and was updated three months ago, making it a prominent example of an import-focused workflow.
ACF Quick Edit Fields has 30,000 active installs and was updated 22 months ago. Its name reflects a focus on changing field values through an editing workflow.
A highly concentrated category with uneven update activity
A small number of plugins account for the category’s highest install counts, while recent update activity is mixed.
The category contains 343 plugins, but only 3 have at least 100,000 installs and 15 have at least 10,000. Advanced Custom Fields (ACF®) leads with 2 million active installs, far ahead of the rest of the category.
At the same time, 43% of plugins were updated in the last year. Several leading plugins, including Advanced Custom Fields (ACF®), Advanced Custom Fields: Extended, and Table Field Add-on for ACF and SCF, were updated this month; others show older updates, such as ACF Quick Edit Fields at 22 months ago. Adoption and maintenance signals therefore vary across the category.
