davidF-89	Background of the issue: I am trying to find my ACF fields, but they are not showing up as expected. Symptoms: The ACF fields are not visible. I expected to see 'firl;s', but instead, I got 'notign'. Questions: Where are my ACF fields? Why don't they show up?

Andrey WPML Supporter since 06/2013 Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	Thank you for contacting WPML support. Your custom fields are probably not configured to be translated. You need to follow this guide to translate the ACF fields: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/#translate-with-acfml If there is still an issue, please provide more details on the ACF field configurations. I've enabled debug information for this support ticket. Please refer to this link for instructions on how to retrieve this information from your site and provide it to us: http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

Andrey WPML Supporter since 06/2013 Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	I need to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site—preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible—in order to be of better help. When you log in to leave your next reply, you will find the needed fields below the comment area. The information you will enter is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.

Andrey WPML Supporter since 06/2013 Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	I have reviewed your website along with the screenshots you provided. It looks like the custom fields were configured after you initially tried to translate the page, which is why they did not appear in the translation editor. To refresh the translation, I made a small change to the post content and updated the page. After that, I opened the translation again, and the remaining custom fields appeared correctly. I’ve attached a screenshot for your reference.
