We seem to be hitting this issue on our site where we just enabled W3TC last week. In our case we are using a save_post
hook on a custom post type and have it set to run at the default priority of 10
. After turning on W3TC the values of our get_field
calls in the save_post
running in the admin are all returning blank. Oddly we tried totally disabling the W3TC plugin and purging all it’s cache, but the issue persists. Using the ‘Debug Objects’ plug-in we still see the W3TC cache objects even with the plug-in disabled and with repeatedly purging the cache. We also tried leaving the W3TC plugin active and disabling and punching it’s object cache and that did not help.
We have also tried adjusting the priority on the save_post
call to 999
and that did not help. Oddly moving the priority to earlier, 9
, did fix the get_field
issue, but then when we tried later to call update_field
that failed to save the data to the wp_postmeta
table.
At this point we are at a bit of a loss on how to proceed with troubleshooting and debugging this issue. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
