Hi @figureone

I can’t remember off the top of my head what the server setups were, however I do remember when I trialed that code I had many bug reports due to it. That is why I commented out the if statement.

I wish I could be of more help here and I apreciate you are willing to help, however I don’t have any time at the moment to look into this issue for you. It seems that at the moment you are the only one experiencing this issue which is unfortunate but is still the reality.

I do not wish to modify this core code of ACF. It will only bring me headaches from users all over the world on hundreds of different server setups. I think the problem was that the if statement returned a wrong result from some servers – not sure why, but it did.

Not sure what to do about this one…

Just to clarify, this is only an issue with the WYSIWYG field… perhaps you could hook into the update_value of this field, before ACF (priority of 0) and apply some code to the value??

Sorry mate

Thanks
