Advanced Custom Fields Pro and Object Cache Compatibility
Last Updated -
NOTICE:
We have an updated article on this topic here
Purpose
Advanced Custom Fields is a really useful plugin. However, it can conflict with one main performance enhancing feature - WordPress' Object Cache. They can't be used together, we'll explain why in this article...
Problem
The Advanced Custom Fields plugin disables persistent caching, as shown in the following function on line 30...
wp_cache_add_non_persistent_groups('acf');
While using an Object Cache boosts performance for your site, using this plugin with it enabled can cause inconsistencies and unexpected behavior. See more information about this issue here.
Solution
You can chose to stop using the plugin or you can submit a support ticket to have us adjust to accommodate for the plugin.
