license use at main URL and also test/dev site in subfolder?

  • As title suggests, I am interested to know whether I am able to run the same 1 site license at main site but also in a subfolder in same public_html directory? I made a full copy of wordpress site for testing some issues with a plugin developer, and today I changed a WYSIWYG field to a text area field type, hit save and boom!> whole page destroyed back to default blog post white background, etc. when I went into visual builder (divi theme) & page appeared correctly again. This bug was strange/alarming, but likely related to Divi. However, ACF content is gone from page and ACF is demanding I deactivate and reactivate my license. If I enter license code there, will ACF fail to work on the real (live) site in root dir? How can a ‘development sites’ license be added manually in account, or what other info/solution do I need to be aware of? Also, if not possible, can I install regular ACF (via zip not .org per recent announcements), before removing pro from the test/dev site and would this still keep my field setups? TIA

  • To anyone else wondering: Yes you can install regular ACF (using zip file from ACF website, not wordpress.org due to recent hack/loss of control of their data). When regular ACF is activated, the acf pro installation automatically is deactivated, and it does indeed retain all ACF fields/post types etc you had previously set up [presuming field types exist in regular ACF; Meaning, as for my setup- none of the additional features of Pro were used, so this worked fine for the test/dev site [and this can be marked resolved]
