There is a way to fix existing exports too? I have a site to mantain with a lot of fields (somewhere between 50-80) and I don’t have anything else other than the export file.

// Edit
For example, i have this group: https://gist.github.com/iamntz/4818c3e9d5f7c0fdb2f6 (is one of the nine groups i have).

I tried the following:
1) Use Acf Recovery: https://github.com/seamusleahy/ACF-PHP-Recovery
2) Create a XML that resemble the WP export then import that xml
3) restored an old sql (which contains about half of the actual fields)

In all cases i only have one or two fields imported; e.g. Image Alignment (although, when i’m in the /edit.php?post_type=acf page, the fields column displays the correct number of fields (16)

However, the PHP export works just fine, fields are usable, there is no issue. is just… i can’t edit the fields.

In this moment i’m not very sure if the problem is on export, import or somewhere else.

I’m using WP 3.8 and latest github version of ACF.

Thanks!
