Error updating ACF PRO

Hi,

May I know what is the version of ACF PRO you currently have?

Please note that the latest supported version is ACF Pro - Version: 5.7.6

If you have that version and still getting update notice, please ignore.

We’ll be the one that will provide the update once we have fully tested it with the theme.

Thanks

The version currently installed in 5.7.6. The version in the updater is 5.7.7. As per you we will ignore for now. Please provide latest update soon

Hi There @LKNSTORES

The following is just a few of the reasons why we do not always utilize the latest version of the ACF Pro plugin:

Stability – Newer versions of software do not always equal greater stability. Oftentimes there are undiscovered bugs that are introduced with certain versions and are unknown until the product has been released to the public for some time. The version of the plugin that we bundle with the theme is more or less guaranteed to work without any issues as we take a great deal of time to test all functionality thoroughly before releasing it along with the theme.

Release Cycles – While we try to include the latest version of ACF Pro with each release, occasionally the release cycle of the plugin will prevent this from being possible. Essentially, since we have no idea when ACF Pro will be releasing new versions of the plugin, we cannot plan our releases around this. Because of this, if we have already begun the process of finalizing our release and submitting it to ThemeForest for review while ACF Pro is putting out a new version of the plugin, that version of the plugin will not be able to make it into the theme until the next release at the earliest.

Not Always Necessary – Some of ACF Pro’s releases have only included simple “bug fixes” without any huge additions or modifications to the rest of the plugin. Because of situations like this, it is up to our discretion whether or not a new release will make it into the theme or not based on the nature of the update.

You can always check our latest version information guide here (https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/troubleshooting-version-compatibility/195) and ignore such update notifications.

Thanks!
