It seems with this new update, especially on Nginx, all ACF fields are disabled. From what it looks like ACF can’t read the DB / Redis cache properly. Disabling object cache or forcing Redis to use Predis does fix this issue. * What is the drawback with forcing Predis? * Plugin Author [Till Krüss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tillkruess/) * (@tillkruess) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-does-not-work-for-widgets/#post-7335010) * Predis is slower, especially under load. * When you’re using PhpRedis caching works fine, except for ACF related things? * Thread Starter [diegobastosdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diegobastosdev/) * (@diegobastosdev) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-does-not-work-for-widgets/#post-7335050) * With the new update all my ACF fields disappeared.
