hey all, I’ve checked the path that returns my json file and it’s definitely the right path but I still can’t register my block.

I triple-checked everything:

function register_acf_blocks() {
  register_block_type( __DIR__ . '/blocks/custom-block/custom-block.json' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_acf_blocks' );

In my themefolder I’ve got a folder “/blocks/custom-block/” with my json file “custom-block.json” and a “custom-block.css” and “custom-block.php” file.

I’m working on a local install, ACF is latest (6.0.7) WP is latest (6.1.1) and I get no errors or warnings.

Anyone got other ideas why the block won’t register?
This is slowly driving me mad …

Thanks
