I’ve noticed the same thing. This is a show-stopper for me, so, for the time being, I’ve put the following workaround in my functions file. It just removes the ‘disabled’ class from the ‘Publish’/’Update’ button as soon as it’s added, which allows you to click it.
// There is a bug with ACF 4.3.7 and WP 3.9 that disables the 'Save Draft'/'Publish' button if there are validation errors. This is a dirty workaround for that bug: we remove the 'disabled' class from the button every time the button gets clicked (which adds that class to prevent spurious submits).
function load_javascript_on_admin_edit_post_page() {
global $parent_file;
// If we're on the edit post page.
if ($parent_file == 'post-new.php' ||
$parent_file == 'edit.php') {
echo "
<script>
jQuery('#publish').on('click', function() {
jQuery.this.removeClass('disabled');
});
</script>
";
}
}
add_action('in_admin_footer', 'load_javascript_on_admin_edit_post_page');
