Hi.

I cannot update ACF to 5.6.1, I get the error message “Update failed: Download failed. Bad Request”.

Currently I’m on ACF 5.5.14 and WP 4.7.5.

Thanks.

UPDATE:

I updated WP to the latest version (4.8.1) but the problem with ACF remains.

Having the same issue. Any ACF tech on this?

Hi!

I opened a support ticket and just received an answer. James’ reply was:

Can you please deactivate and re-activate your ACF PRO license (from the custom fields -> updates page) and try the plugin update again?
You can also try the ‘Dashboard -> Updates’ page and click the ‘Check again’ button to clear plugin update cached data.

The first solution did the trick for me.

Hope it works for you 🙂
