New WP, Old ACF

I wonder if anyone can help.
I have 2 sites using old versions of ACF (one uses 2.1.4 the other uses 3.0.0) on old versions of wordpress.
I would like to upgrade WP to the latest version (currently 3.6.1) to limit any security issues BUT I don’t want to update the ACF plugins yet.
Does anyone know if having wordpress 3.6.1 with ACF 2.1.4 or 3.0.0 will work or cause any problems?

thanks in advance

Hi @trixie

v3.0.0 should continue to work with the new WP, however, I am not sure about 2.1.4 – I think in this case you will run into trouble with image fields.

Please backup your database before updating anything, you will thank yourself if any data gets lost.

Thanks

Hi thanks for your message.
I ended up installing a fresh wp 3.6.1 locally and installed the ACF plugin v 2.1.4 and it all seems to be working! I have added some image fields and they upload and display fine so I’m guessing it’s all ok?

Sounds like it will be safe to update!

But please backup your DB.
