I’m sure that will help others @scotty-v, it’s something that I didn’t think about before but will keep in mind if others have this problem in the future. As a theme developer wp_footer() is one of those things that I take for granted that it’s there because it’s one of those things that can cause all kinds of strange issues when it’s not. In this case it’s probably because the scripts needed by ACF are included in the footer on the front end of the site and not having them somehow causes posts to be duplicated, not that I understand why that would happen even knowing it does. 😛
