Per far above, I have already tried;
update_sub_field(field_64c782fc4c55d, 84, 1074);
and it does not work even if the value changes.
I found update_sub_field(); in /plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/includes/api/api-templated. I added some debugging code to it, too.
function update_sub_field( $selector, $value, $post_id = false ) {
// vars
$sub_field = false;
// get sub field
if ( is_array( $selector ) ) {
$post_id = acf_get_valid_post_id( $post_id );
$sub_field = acf_maybe_get_sub_field( $selector, $post_id, false );
} else {
echo 'The $selector is '.$selector.', the $value is '.$value.' and the $post_id is '.$post_id;
echo ' Also, this is not an array</br>';
$post_id = acf_get_loop( 'active', 'post_id' );
echo 'post_id: '.$post_id.'</br>';
$sub_field = get_row_sub_field( $selector );
echo 'sub_field: '.$sub_field.'</br>';
echo $post_id;
}
// bail early if no sub field
if ( ! $sub_field ) {
echo "not a sub_field</br>";
return false;
}
// update
echo "hello".$value.'//'.$post_id.'//'.$sub_field.'</br>';
return acf_update_value( $value, $post_id, $sub_field );
}
The output of the above is;
The $selector is field_64c782fc4c55d, the $value is 84 and the $post_id is 1074 Also, this is not an array
post_is:
sub_field:
not a sub_field
post_id is not returned, sub_field is not return and it bails early as it is not a sub_field.
