 * Hi Team,
 * We are getting this message in our dashboard.
    **Database Upgrade Required Thank
   you for updating to Advanced Custom Fields PRO v5.8.12! This version contains
   improvements to your database and requires an upgrade.
 * If we update the database, will it affect any other flows or existing data in
   the database?
    What kind of changes will happen ?

 * Do a database backup, manually or using a plugin, then update. If all goes well
   make sure to do another backup which will be become your current database backup.

 * Thanks.
    We are suddenly not getting the previously created posts in the front-
   api. if we update the post again, then it is displaying in the frontend.
 * Is it because of this upgrade?
    And more point, recently we upgraded the mysql
   version to 5.7.33
