The latest version, 4.3.1, resolves issue for my setup. Page with issue is now rendering exactly as with ACF 4.2.2.

My layout and loop sounds less complex than @Intervik’s. It is a single loop, which can run at most one time, and lists multiple posts containing the same set of custom fields.

Confirmation procedure:

1. Delete all cached versions of troublesome page. I wasted a lot of time in debugging and confirming the fix just due to resilient caching schemes.
• Turn off all caching plug-ins.
• Manually delete wp-content/cache directory.
• Delete browser cache.
2. Load page with ACF 4.2.2 -> PASS
3. Replace ACF 4.2.2 with ACF-master from GitHub
4. Load page with ACF-master (4.3.1) -> PASS
5. Replace ACF-master (4.3.1) with ACF 4.3.0 from GitHub
6. Load page with ACF 4.3.0 -> FAIL (as expected; sanity check)
7. Replace ACF 4.3.0 with ACF 4.3.1 from WordPress plug-in page
8. Load page with ACF 4.3.1 -> PASS

@elliot, thanks for the quick turn-around on this.

BTW, any way to append version number on WordPress hosted file, e.g. “advanced-custom-fields-4.3.1.zip”? It helps to quickly identify needed version of file and fast to archive without extra edit (and chance of label error) on user’s part.

Peace
