Reply To: Validation problems Front End Ajax ACF => 5.5

I’m having what I think is a similar issue with ACF PRO versions >= 5.5.0.

At present, I have front-end ajax submission forms that work well with ACF PRO 5.4.8. On the js end, the script first checks for validation errors via the acf/validate_save_post action, and if the returned object from that call includes data.valid: 1 I go on to call an action attached to acf_form_head that updates field values.

However, with versions >= 5.5.0, no data/object is returned from my first acf/validate_save_post call.

Here’s an example of an object that’s getting sent to acf/validate_save_post in my jquery ajax call:

{
  acf[_validate_email]:"",
  acf[field_5745dbdfc7e0b]:"Foo Bar",
  action:"acf/validate_save_post",
  _acfchanged:"1",
  _acfform:"Mm0rU0VT[abbreviated]",
  _acfnonce:"7ba82c905c"
}

And here’s the response that call gets using ACF PRO < 5.5.0:

{
  data:{
    errors:0,
    valid:1
  },
  success: true
}

Any ideas about why I’m no longer getting a response to this call would be very much appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Ethan
