noomia Hi Tareq ! I have a website where I have the free version of WPUF. I needed the fields to be accessible from back end too so after created the fields in WPUF, I created the same (same name etc...) with Advanced Custom Field so I'm able to edit these fields in the back end. Now I've added a checkbox field with WPUF and the same with ACF but it seems that ACF and WPUF give different name/ID to the field so the value in back end and front end are not the same for these checkboxes. So I thought : I can install WPUF Pro to have the fields in the backend and remove ACF ! But how can I upgrade WPUF to WPUF Pro without loosing what I did ? Thanks a lot Tareq !

The free version adds a prefix cf_ to every custom field created by it, so you can use ACF by adding cf_ to every meta key.

What did you do with the free version that you might loose? Any customizations?

Hi Tareq !

In fact, if I use WPUF checkboxes and ACF checkboxes with the same name, the values are not save in ACF… This only happens with checkboxes…

What did you do with the free version that you might loose? Any customizationsN?

Nothing, I was just wondering if I can simply install the pro version without loosing what I did.

Thanks !

May be the format of saving ACF and WPUF is different, thats why.

Yeah, you’ll lose them. The PRO version uses a full different approach for saving forms and the form fields. So the PRO is not backward compatible.
