I solved this problem myself.

in /plugins/advanced-custom-fields/core/fields/_functions.php Line: 330
change maybe_unserialize() to unserialize()

before:

$field = maybe_unserialize( $field );
$field = maybe_unserialize( $field ); // run again for WPML

now:

$field = unserialize( $field );
$field = maybe_unserialize( $field ); // run again for WPML

Hi @capitol

I’m glad your solution works for you however, it will not be rolled out into the core updates as this could have catastrophic issues across different servers.

@eliiot ,
Which catastrophic issues I can face after this?

Hi @capitol

If the value is not a serialized array, your code will cause a PHP error and the website will crash
