Trying to match metabox to field group

Hello,

After I upgraded from version 4 to 5 pro, I noticed that one metabox is showing in the wrong page. It’s ignoring the rules I have set to hide/show it. So I inspected the page trying to find where this metabox is coming from, or why it’s showing. This is the ID of the metabox => acf-group_54f4dd1502225 I found.

Is there a way to find out what Field Group this metabox belongs to, based on the ID? I searched the database for it but couldn’t find it anywhere. Or is there any other way to troubleshoot this issue? Riht now the metabox is showing no matter what criteria I choose to hide it. I believe it might be some orphan group that got lost during the upgrade.

Hi @danielpush10-com,

Thanks for the post.

The easiest way to find the rogue field group in the dsb would be through an SQL SELECT query.

You should also ensure that you have not activated both versions of the plugin on the same site.
