    I’m using ACF Pro on our site. The Search & Filter Pro plugin is finding all the results perfectly, but I’m noticing some issues when changing an ACF field. After changing the choices in an ACF “select” field and updating the field group, it seems that Search & Filter isn’t seeing the changes.

    For example, say that I have a colors field in my ACF field group with these options:
    red : Red
    blue : Blue
    green : Green

    Now say I changed the ACF field options to:
    1 : Red
    2 : Blue
    3 : Green

    So now I go into my Search & Filter form, add a Post Meta field displayed as choices, select my “colors” meta key from the drop down, select “Manual Entry” as my Get Options, and click on “Browse Values”, but it still shows the old values (red, blue, green).

    Also, if I add a new field, it doesn’t show up in the list of “Meta Key” options. I’ve tried rebuilding the cache and logging out/logging in. It’s still not updating. It seems like the plugin is only seeing the ACF fields and data that were available when the plugin was installed.

    Any recommendations?

    Any changes you make to the field group will not automatically update the data in the posts and postmeta tables. Only re-saving each post will do that. Search and filter sees only the data in these tables, not what is in the field group definitions.
