 * How on earth did they manage to do that, even on the Pro version of the plugin…
   removing how the core get_field() function used to work without an email to pro

 * Hey [@aguett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aguett/).
 * Version 5.11 implemented a change which prevents get_field getting fields which
   don’t exist or data that isn’t from ACF fields.
 * You can view the notes on the get_field documentation which explains what has
   changed and potential fixes depending on which error is causing the problem:

 * Feel free to drop us an email to the support address if you need any help and
   we’ll take a look at your code to get you back up and running.
