ACF 5.7.9 Release

Advanced Custom Fields version 5.7.9 is now available. This is an update for both our ACF and ACF PRO plugins, and we encourage you to update your sites as soon as possible.

This release contains important improvements for the Gutenberg editor as well as various fixes. You may have noticed that since WordPress 5.0, metaboxes set to display in the “High” position were not visible, and metaboxes did not dynamically update (show/hide) whilst editing post attributes. Both theses issues are now fixed 👍.
