Frequently Asked Questions

Updating to ACF PRO

I got this quetion over at AWP on Facebook:

How does upgrading work? If someone starts with ACF and your plugin,
then upgrades to ACF Pro, will their date/time custom field disappear?
I understand the data will be maintained but wondering if the field
will still be visible in WP admin.

Updating to ACF PRO should work fine, ACF PRO has a compatibility add-on for this plugin, but test it on a non production environment first.

Also, read the comments on this issue: https://github.com/…/acf-field-date-time-picker/issues/103
