Description

Hello,

I used CMB2 in my theme before and then i switched to ACF. Now when i activate the new version of the theme where i used ACF, the posts with cmb2 data is not opening, though i used same meta key and id. But its not opening to edit by ACF.

What is the proper way to migrate CMB2 to ACF for the theme developers?
