AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
NextGEN Custom Fields is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Custom category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 8 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros

How NextGEN Custom Fields works
This plugin was developed to add custom fields to the excellent and popular NextGEN Gallery plugin. Simply enter the name of your new field(s), select between “input”, “textarea” or “dropdown”, and the field(s) will be automatically added to the “Manage Gallery” screens in the NGG dashboard.
Please note, you do need to add a small tag to the NGG templates to get your custom fields showing in your theme, so please do read the FAQ.
Quick note on NextGEN Gallery version >= 3.5.0 This plugin has been working untouched for about 10 years as of the beginning of 2024. But an update to NextGEN Gallery >= 3.50 broke some functionality. Thankfully it was a small
fix to add support, so I have pushed version 1.2.5 with that support.
