No news from support yet… in the meantime I’ve discovered more details about that bug (which could explain why @dany0 didn’t always get the same results as I did)

So with a custom Settings Option page loaded only from a JSON file (NOT SYNC’ed) and for example an option called “goshow_blabla_percent”

– From a sidebar PHP widget, this WORKS :

<?php

echo "get_field value is:" . get_field('goshow_blabla_percent', 'option') . "END";

?>

But from my plugin, using this :

add_filter('acf/settings/save_json', 'gowf_acf_json_save_point');
function gowf_acf_json_save_point( $path ) {
// update path
$path = BJAWF_PLUGIN_PATH . 'acf-config';
// return
return $path;
}

add_filter('acf/settings/load_json', 'gowf_acf_json_load_point');
function gowf_acf_json_load_point( $paths ) {
// remove original path (optional)
unset($paths[0]);
// append path
$paths[] = BJAWF_PLUGIN_PATH . 'acf-config';
// return
return $paths;
}

$value = get_field('goshow_blabla_percent', 'option');

=> Will set $value to NULL…

it has been working for years but it doesn’t work with 5.11 !!
