Description

It is just like it sounds.

I am using simple ACF WYSIWYG fields inside of a Post. I updated it once and it did update. And now after a few calling of that data if I attempt to edit the values of those fields inside the Post, it just will not update. While the wordpress says it did update but the update does not take effect when viewing the post. Even if I come back to the Post after a dashboard visit to fully refresh the page, the edited values do not apply. I used different browsers and still the same issue. I also edited normal non-acf fields like title and content and still the problem persists. Please help!!!!

Context -
I am on PHP 7.2 / ACF 5.8.7
