    When I press the drop down search I get the field code of the ACF instead of the values, for example “field_5b1a154de07e5”.
    I’m using a shortcode inside Elementor.
    I have rebuilt the search form cache and it is updated.
    It was working in the past, but something happened today.
    Using:
    Search&Filter Pro v2.4.6
    ACF Pro v5.7.13
    WordPress 5.1
    Elementor Pro 2.4.8
    Theme OceanWP v 1.6.4

    I have rebuilt a new search form – same results. No change.

    With regard to ACF and ACF Pro, you need to make sure you have the correct meta key name. Note a ‘gotcha’ with ACF ….

    … it makes 3 meta keys per field, like this:

    #1 _suburb
    #2 field_5c1e1ebf30ae7
    #3 suburb

    You need to use key #3, without the underscore at the start of the key name. If you choose #1 by mistake, in the field choices you will see the name of #2. For range sliders, it is not obvious when this mistake has been made.

    WOW. Trevor, you are great.

    Thanks for the quick support and fast understanding of my problem.
    I wish if there could be a way to avoid this mistake, for other people.

    Thanks for a great support.
