Hey there,

This sounds like a complicated process, I wonder if we can simplify? Are you aware of the following ACF functionality:

• Local JSON – An extract: “To start using… simply create a new folder in your theme and name it acf-json”
• Register fields via PHP

This sounds like it might be more helpful. Particularly if you’re trying to make ACF fields/groups transportable. I personally use the acf-json method which means that the fields I create locally are version controlled and can be deployed to remote servers without me needing to edit databases.

I hope this helps.
