    Hi, is there a way to edit or paste data directly into the WP Custom Fields meta box fields? I have a complex page I need to export from stage to prod but the WP importer isn’t picking up the ACF data. Possibly because I have Ultra Engine enabled?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback!

    You cannot edit the WP post meta using the Developer Mode in the Free version. The Pro version allows this tho. See documentation.

    You can always manually edit your post metadata using PHPMyAdmin, in the wp_postmeta table if needed, no matter which version you use.

    Regarding the “WP importer”, are you talking about the native WP export/import tool available in the “Tools > Import” admin menu? If so, I just checked it and it correctly export/import metadata using the Ultra Engine. Example of generated *.xml export file:

    <wp:postmeta>
        <wp:meta_key><![CDATA[acf]]></wp:meta_key>
        <wp:meta_value><![CDATA[a:4:{s:8:"textarea";s:11:"MY TEXTAREA";s:9:"_textarea";s:19:"field_66461ea089c16";s:4:"text";s:7:"my text";s:5:"_text";s:19:"field_6662c63d24240";}]]></wp:meta_value>
    </wp:postmeta>

    The acf metadata generated by the Ultra engine is just a normal metadata, and should work with any scripts/code that use postmeta.

    Hope it helps!

    Have a nice day!

    Regards.
