Description

First posted in the wordpress support forum for the redis object cache plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/redis-cache/

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-field-group-issues/#post-14001057

Having problems where redis is keeping the cache of ACF Field Group page. New entered fields doesn’t show up in the edit and admin screen. They do show up in the user interface but not in admin control of the Field Group page. Previous entries are stuck and hold in cache. It shows up as soon as I clear the redis cache from the plugin or disable this plugin.

Plugin author refer the issue to be within ACF.

Research direction

Start with the WordPress support thread and the linked Redis Cache issue, then reproduce the ACF Field Group behavior with Redis enabled. Compare the admin field-group screen before and after clearing Redis; done means newly entered fields appear in the admin without manually clearing or disabling the cache.
