OK, big fan of ACF. It’s saved my bacon so many times. Anyway, I frequently have projects where I need to shift all the DATA from options fields from a Development environment to Staging and Live.
I’ve just uploaded a rewritten version of the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-options-importexport/ by Oleh Odeshchak that enables me to do this for my backend options panels.
It’s super-ghetto hacked together, and I’ve only tested it on my own code, but thought it may help some people out to import/export their backend ACF options fields. (especially repeater fields with nested data)
It’s here: https://github.com/IORoot/wp-plugin__acf-options-import-export
You basically supply a CSV list of all the fields you want to export into JSON from the DB. You can then use that file to import into another install. Anyone has any improvements then submit a merge request and I’ll add it in.
