Not worth your effort to get this working
by tim52·1 year ago
It more-or-less does what it says but, without updates for 3 years and some PHP errors (if you run in on PHP8), I’d go a different route. Much safer to do your calculations on ACF fields in your own code than rely on a plugin that’s obviously been abandoned. The “maintainer” should probably pull this one from wordpress.org.

How to: Fix front-end issue
by elyfornoville·3 years ago·4 replies
If you want to fix the plugin to work on the front-end you will have to rename the
/wp-content/plugins/calculated-fields-for-acf/admin/assets/calculated-fields-for-acf.js to ml/wp-content/plugins/calculated-fields-for-acf/admin/assets/calculated-fields-for-acf.min.js
The plugin wasn’t working on the front-end because the calculated-fields-for-acf.min.js wasn’t load because it doesn’t exist.
Wasted hours, but they can’t be bothered
