Is it possible to change the field key without losing the data?
I saw in this forum (Changing Field Name Question – by peterf) that you can just change the records in the wp_postmeta table to change the key.
But I wasn’t able to get this to work. The field simple didn’t show up anymore.
Steps I took were (after creating a backup):
1. export wp_postmeta to a file
2. in the file find and replace on [old_name] to [new_name]
3. truncate the wp_postmeta table
4. upload/import the file
All the changes were there but the didn’t show up when I went to ACF in WP.
WP version: 3.9.1
ACF version: 4.3.4
