    Would you consider another plugin for renaming ACF fields?

    This is spot on just not maintained and you guys are the right one to handle this so a brother to ACF cleaner? ACF Renamer? ??
    https://github.com/StoutLogic/acf-migrations

    From ACF migration:

    Allow yourself to refactor Advanced Custom Fields field names and field keys without losing content in existing fields.

    Don’t you hate when you rename a field you lose all associated content with that field? It really hurts any refactoring efforts, and really forces you to get it right the first time.

    The ACF Migrations library gives you tools to change field names and keys, and then update the database for you.

    The ACF Migrations code you write can exist inside a single use script, or a custom theme or plugin upgrade script you maintain or even inside full blown migration library (to come).

    NOTE: This does not change the name of the field inside ACF. That is either done via the UI, in the json file or in your own PHP code. After (or before) that, migrate your existing content to use the new field name and or field key.

    Hey Rookie,

    thanks for the heads up.

    I’m not sure how similar this issue is. I haven’t looked into it. But I’ll keep it in mind.
    For now we don’t have time to create a new plugin. We created “ACF Cleaner” because we needed to solve this issue for a client and wanted to help the community as well.

    If anyone wants to create a ACF Renamer plugin, I’m happy to look into it and do some code review.

    Cheers Marc
