Hello,

I am trying to uninstall ACF (Version 5.7.10) from my website (Airbnb blog) as it conflicts with another new plugin (AmaLinksPro) which I want to start using.

I have deactivated all field groups in ACF.

As soon as I deactivate ACF my website crashes with error:

There has been a critical error on your website.

Any help on how to totally remove ACF dependencies will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Got the same problem deactivating ACF for a different reason.

The first thing you need to do is disable critical error handling by adding this to your wp-config file

define('WP_DISABLE_FATAL_ERROR_HANDLER', true);

the next thing you need to do is turn on debugging so you can see what error is causing the issue https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG
