Hi
Interestingly only a day later than the last post I came looking for an answer to exactly the same question. I seem to have solved the problem, well at least for myself I have in this way…
function posts_for_current_author($query) {
if( !$query->is_admin )
return $query;
$screen = get_current_screen();
if ($screen->base === 'post')
return $query;
if( !current_user_can( 'moderate_comments' ) ) {
global $user_ID;
$query->set('author', $user_ID );
}
return $query;
}
Essentially this checks to see if you are in admin
Then the critical bit for ACF it looks to see if you are editing a page which is the screen->base === ‘post’ bit. That will return the standard query since the mod to user_ID in the query loses the ACF fields.
Like I said this works here and I should be grateful if you can let me know if it works for you too.
By the way I have additional code to change the headings on the list of posts since it shows all and published even though you can’t see them.
All the best
