Haha some serious ACF rubber duck debugging here but I hope it might help others if admins keep the thread.
Add a new loading point in child theme’s functions.php
that points to parent theme’s acf-json
folder (get_template_directory()
):
function child_theme_acf_json_load_point( $paths ) {
// Remove the original path (optional).
unset($paths[0]);
// Append the new path and return it.
$paths[] = get_template_directory() . '/acf-json';
return $paths;
}
add_filter( 'acf/settings/load_json', 'child_theme_acf_json_load_point' );
