PHP AutoSync – Doesn’t Update Field Group Editor?

    Love the plugin (and currently rockin’ the pro version!). I had a question regarding PHP AutoSync.

    I was having issues with the ACF-JSON sync no longer updating correctly, which caused some field duplication and fields to remain frozen in time — content editable, but the fields themselves not updating when new fields are added, renamed, etc.

    Because of this, I switched to PHP AutoSync, but maybe I’m misunderstanding the feature. Does the PHP AutoSync not update the field groups within the ACF editor? (i.e. does it not sync the fields to the database like the json syncing does?)

    Was hoping to have a good alternative to the JSON sync, but unfortunately can’t use the feature if syncing to the backend is cumbersome.

    Thank you for the great plugin! Looking forward to seeing how it grows.

    Hello,

    The PHP AutoSync doesn’t automatically update the database when changes are made the to the generated PHP files. Actually, it is not recommended to update the PHP file manually.

    The normal PHP AutoSync usage is that the user update fields/field groups in the ACF UI, and it automatically update PHP files. These files are then used in the WP Post Edit Screen, or when retrieving a field value on the front-end etc… which makes it faster (since everything is loaded in memory and DB isn’t checked).

    Hope it answers your questions.

    Regards.
