Hi John! Thank you for your response! It was the function “acf_get_all_field_keys”. It’s a custom function which gets the field-keys (field_123456) from the database. Here is the code:

function acf_get_all_field_key( $meta_key ) {
	global $wpdb;
	$acf_fields = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( "
		SELECT 'meta_value'
		FROM '$wpdb->postmeta'
		WHERE 'post_id' = 3077 
		AND 'meta_key'
		LIKE %s",
		$meta_key
		)
		);
	// get all fields with that name.
	switch ( count( $acf_fields ) ) {
		case 0: // no such field
			return false;
		case 1: // just one result. 
			return $acf_fields[0]->meta_value;
		default:
			return array ($acf_fields);
	}
}

I changed the post-id for this function to a fix ID of a published event, so it’s always returning values.

I founded this function here: https://gist.github.com/mcguffin/81509c36a4a28d9c682e

Thank you for your help! This topic is solved.
