Hey John,

Good advice there using get_post_meta instead of ACF Pro methods in the theme.

I don’t plan to stop using ACF Pro as long as it continues working as it does today. But this being a large and profitable site, I just have to evaluate worst case scenarios before introducing something new 😉

Thanks again for your lenghty explanations. They’ve been really really helpful!

Hello John!

Thanks a lot for answering. The question was just in case we stop using ACF Pro in the future (hope that’s not the case!), to have a standard “fallback”.

We wouldn’t like to be left without an option to continue in a different way. As long as ACF Pro uses standard ways as you described and I’ve seen in the db, everything’s ok.

Will buy soon then, as the repeater field is something we’ll be using too. I bet this would be the hardest field of all to migrate in the case described above.

Thanks again! Cheers!
