![[SOLVED] ACF not saving data after WP 5 update](https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=1000,height=420,fit=cover,gravity=auto,format=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2F8tbbr69koervc10dwt4k.jpg)
If in doubt, duplicate your ACF Field group.
In all seriousness, this should solve any issues regarding not being able to save posts with nested ACF fields & repeaters.
If this does not work. Try adjusting the WP DB table wp_options -> option_name to a lower version. This will trigger the ACF DB update if needed.

Hello, I have the same (big) problem. Could you kindly explain better what I should do? I can have access to WP DB table but I don't understand which value I have to change.
Thank you very much.
In the WordPress xx_options table find the row where option_name is db_version and chage that to trigger DB update.
However, I will be very careful with this. I tried it (on localhost, obviously) and destroyed the entire site.
This worked! 😃
