ACF Fields are going blank after page save

I am having an issue where I am editing some ACF fields on a page (multiple layout fields, groups, etc.) and when I save/update the page all of the ACF fields end up emptying their inputted data.

And on top of that, I then go to other pages and the ACF fields are all wiped out on those pages as well.

I am running WP version 5.8.1 and ACF Pro version 5.10.2.

I have tried disabling plugins and also reverting to the default Twenty Twenty-One theme and the issue is still there.

Has anyone ever heard of this happening? Is there an issue in the DB somewhere? If so, how do I figure that out?

Can you create a fresh WP install then import your ACF fields to test?

If it works fine on the new install, something on your other site is the issue.

I actually did a fresh install and imported the fields and the issue was not there.

So I went ahead and created a fresh install and ended up importing the page, media, and fields from the other site and the issue looks to be resolved!

So I am not sure what exactly was the issue with the other DB, but the newer database looks to be performing without issue.

Thanks!
