Is there a way to import an ACF PHP export back into the ACF admin editor or convert it to an XML export? In my overzealousness for everything to be tidy after I included the PHP export in my theme, I deleted the fields in the admin editor.
Hi @galengidman
A quick google showed some github repos that can be used to ‘recover’ the exported PHP:

I saw that too, but the author say in the bottom of the README that the plugin is not compatible with ACF 4 yet.
Just thought I’d drop a note in here to say that I got in touch with Seamus Leahy and he updated his plugin to be compatible with ACF 4.

He also pointed me in the direction of an alternative. I haven’t used this, but just passing along the information for anyone else who may run across this issue in the future.
