Hi @daz

Please keep in mind that you can’t use the basic uploader for the gallery field. But if you use the image or file field, you can try this code:

// force basic uploader for a certain field
function my_acf_force_basic_uploader( $field ) {
	
    // don't do this on the backend
    if(is_admin()) return $field;
    
    // set the uploader setting before rendering the field
    acf_update_setting('uploader', 'basic');
    
    // return the field data
    return $field;
    
}

// target the field using its name
add_filter('acf/prepare_field/name=file_field_name', 'my_acf_force_basic_uploader');

I hope this helps 🙂
