Description
Hi all 👋,
The next version of ACF PRO is nearly complete and contains a lot of refactored code that needs to be tested. This version starts a long process of tidying up the entire ACF codebase which I will continue throughout the year.
Specifically, this version contains refactored code for the low level functions used throughout the plugin:
- Field functions
- Field group functions
- Meta functions
- Value functions
In the process of refactoring, I have addressed many of the cache issues that have plagued ACF. As a result, ACF now correctly caches results to minimize database calls. I suggest using the Query Monitor plugin to view database calls in order to test this.
I will be very grateful if you can spend some time testing out the "5.7.11-beta1" version available from your account online. Just click the "See all versions" link alongside your license for all the available version downloads.
Areas to focus are:
- Editing a field group
- Editing a post, user, comment, widget, term, options page
- Using the "Local JSON" feature
- Syncing, exporting and importing field groups
- Testing Memcached and reviewing SQL queries
Thanks in advance for any and all help you are able to provide. I'm extremely proud of the work that has gone into this version and I can't wait to release this update.
Please post any issues found here on GitHub 👍.
🎉🎉🎉
Thanks
Elliot
