Hi, This plugin works very well with ACF Fields in db, but if the Fields are registered with acf_add_local_field_group even with 'acfbs_allow_search' => 1, the search does not work. Are there ways to make it work? Hi @bihungba1101 , Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, this can’t work for technical reasons. We’re aware of this issue, but unfortunately, there’s no solution. Our plugin requires a special SQL database structure, and importing fields from a PHP file doesn’t have this SQL structure. You can enable Lite Mode in our plugin settings. This should work around the issue. Best, Mateusz
