This guide will discuss how to update ACF Extended (and PRO version) plugin on your website. Updates can be applied by either of the two methods shown below.
ACF Extended can be updated via the “Plugins” page in your WordPress Admin area. Updates will appear when available and can be applied by simply clicking on the “update now” button.
| Plugin | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced Custom Fields PRO | Customize WordPress with powerful, professional and intuitive fields. Latest Version | By WP Engine | Visit plugin site | |
| Advanced Custom Fields: Extended | All-in-one enhancement suite that improves WordPress & Advanced Custom Fields. Latest Version | By ACF Extended | Visit plugin site | |
There is a new version of Advanced Custom Fields: Extended available. View version details or update now. | ||
| Title | Author | |
This method of update is also available for ACF Extended Pro, however, you will also need to activate your license. This is easily done via the “ACF > Updates” admin page. If your license has not been activated and an update is available, you will be notified when viewing the “Plugins” page.
You may also apply plugin updates manually by copying and pasting the plugin files into your wp-content/plugins folder. You can download the ACF Extended plugin files from the WordPress repository page and the ACF Extended Pro plugin files from your account online.
There is no loss or change to data whilst modifying the plugin’s files making it safe to delete and re-upload the plugin folder.
Some updates may trigger a prompt to upgrade the DB. The logic to check if a DB upgrade is required will run in the admin area after a new version number is detected, therefore, it is fully compatible with both the update methods listed above.
