I tried two things:

1. I put it at the end of my main WordPress functions.php file.
2. I put it in the __construct function of the plugin file I am working with (the main plugin.php) file. For context, it looks like this. Note: I’ve replaced the actual plugin name with a generic “plugin” name.

File: plugin.php
Code:

<?php
/**
 * @package Plugin
 * @version 1.0.0
 */
/*
Plugin Name: Plugin
Plugin URI: https://plugin.com/
Description: Plugin Description
Author:  Me
Version: 1.0.0
Author URI:  https://plugin.com/
*/

class plugin
{
	public static $version = '';

    /**
     * pluginconstructor.
     *
     * The main plugin actions registered for WordPress
     */
    public function __construct()
    {

add_filter(‘acf/validate_value/name=sell_price’, ‘allow_only_floats’, 20, 4);
add_filter(‘acf/validate_value/name=buy_price’, ‘allow_only_floats’, 20, 4);

function allow_only_floats($valid, $value, $field, $input) {
if (!$valid) {
return $valid;
}
if (preg_replace(‘/[^0-9.]/’, $value)) {
return ‘Only numbers are accepted’;
}
return $valid;
}
