Hi @iamhexcoder
That’s because The $_GET['post']
and $_POST['post_ID']
variables are not available on the front end. As a workaround, you need to check if the current page is the backend or front end and use the right hook like this:
if( !is_admin() ){
add_action('wp', 'Location_Specific_Fields');
} else {
add_action('acf/init', 'Location_Specific_Fields');
}
You also need to correctly set the post ID like this:
if( !is_admin() ){
global $post;
$post_id = $post->ID;
} else {
if( isset( $_GET['post'] ) ){
$post_id = $_GET['post'];
} elseif ( isset( $_POST['post_ID'] ) ){
$post_id = $_POST['post_ID'];
} else {
$post_id = '0';
}
}
I hope this helps 🙂
