I did experiment:
– fresh install, latest versions of components – WP 4.7.5, Woocommerce 3.0.7 and ACF 5.5.14;
– extremely minimal theme, with empty index.php, empty style.css, and function.php file with content for creating custom product type:
// initial actions
function custom_init() {
// add custom product type term
add_custom_product_type_term();
// custom product type class
class WC_Product_Test extends WC_Product {
public function __construct($product) {
$this->product_type = 'test';
parent::__construct($product);
}
}
}
add_action('init', 'custom_init');
// add custom product type to product type selector
function custom_product_type_selector ($types) {
$types['test'] = 'Test';
return $types;
}
add_filter('product_type_selector', 'custom_product_type_selector');
// add custom product type term
function add_custom_product_type_term() {
$product_types_existing = get_terms(array(
'taxonomy' => 'product_type'
,'hide_empty' => false
));
$exists = false;
foreach ($product_types_existing as $pte)
if ($pte->slug == 'test')
$exists = true;
if (!$exists)
wp_insert_term('test', 'product_type');
}
– two product categories (‘Category 1’ and ‘Category 2’) and two tags (‘Tag 1’ and ‘Tag 2’);
– field group created, for post type ‘product’ with product_type ‘test’;
– field group created, for post type ‘product’ with tag ‘Tag 1’;
I run same actions:
1. Creating / editing product: on product type ‘Test’ select / deselect, corresponding acf group doesn’t appears / disappears.
No PHP errors logged. Console shows nothing.
2. Creating / editing product: on adding / removing tag ‘Tag1’, corresponding acf group doesn’t appears / disappears.
No PHP errors logged. Console shows nothing.
3. Editing product with type ‘test’, acf group is visible. Selecting / deselecting product categories causes acf group disappearing.
Initial state – both categories are selected.
After one category deselected, ajax fires with form data:
post_id:668
post_taxonomy[]:
post_taxonomy[]:15
action:acf/post/get_field_groups
exists[]:group_593352f539930
exists[]:group_58a595ba1534b
nonce:55b5acd041
Response:
{"success":true,"data":[]}
After one category selected, ajax fires with form data:
post_id:668
post_taxonomy[]:
post_taxonomy[]:15
post_taxonomy[]:16
action:acf/post/get_field_groups
nonce:55b5acd041
Response:
{"success":true,"data":[]}
After other category deselected, ajax fires with form data:
post_id:668
post_taxonomy[]:
post_taxonomy[]:16
action:acf/post/get_field_groups
nonce:55b5acd041
Response:
{"success":true,"data":[]}
Disappearing of acf groups, when adding / removing product image, or adding / removing tag – such behavior is not observed yet.
So for the moment the biggest issue still exists, and it seems, that ajax call with action ‘acf/post/get_field_groups’ causes the problem. Am I right?
