Hi @elliot, of course.

When we create an ACF fields group, it is stored as a wp_posts record in the database and the post_name db field (which is the id of the group) is an generated string from the group title, e.g:
– The group title (post_title db field) is Options : Général
– The generated id (post_name db field) will be acf_options-g%c3%a9n%c3%a9ral

The equivalent php export result will be:

register_field_group(array (
‘id’ => ‘acf_options-g%c3%a9n%c3%a9ral’,
‘title’ => ‘Options : Général’,
‘fields’ => array ( …

It would be better for us, french fan of ACF, to have a non-accented generated group id 😉 That id would be acf_options-general
