Hi everyone,
I installed ACF to create a new date field for my custom post type (pages for pets up to adoption).
Everything was working perfectly… until I realized that each time I edit the new date field and save/republish the the pet page, 4 new empty posts are created in the same time.
They are untitled draft posts, and I can’t delete them. If I try to move them in the trash, I get an error message from WordPress.
Do you know:
– How can I safely delete all these empty posts? (I have dozens of them)
– How to fix this bug?
Thank ou very much,
I had this issue on a site but it had nothing to do with ACF, or perhaps it was ACF in combination with another plugin. The plugin that caused this for me was a WPForms “Post Submissions Addon”. Since it was not used I deleted it an moved on. Any chance that you have this plugin installed?
Thank you for your reply.
I do have the WPForms plugin. I just tried to deactivate it, but the issue remains. 4 new posts are created each time I edit and save my custom field.
it wasn’t WP forms that was causing the issue, it was an add on that was causing the issue.
You may have some other plugin causing a conflict.
You need to figure out what that conflict it. This is usually done by deactivating other plugins and testing until you figure out the combination that causes the issue.
