This is the code i exported from the ACF when i tried to create a field via admin panel :

function af_barbershop_address_field() {
	if(function_exists("register_field_group"))
	{
		register_field_group(array (
			'id' => 'acf_address',
			'title' => 'Address',
			'fields' => array (
				array (
					'key' => 'field_address',
					'label' => 'address',
					'name' => 'address',
					'type' => 'textarea',
					'required' => 1,
					'default_value' => '',
					'placeholder' => 'type the address',
					'maxlength' => '',
					'rows' => '',
					'formatting' => 'br',
				),
			),
			'location' => array (
				array (
					array (
						'param' => 'post_type',
						'operator' => '==',
						'value' => 'barbershop',
						'order_no' => 0,
						'group_no' => 0,
					),
				),
			),
			'options' => array (
				'position' => 'normal',
				'layout' => 'no_box',
				'hide_on_screen' => array (
				),
			),
			'menu_order' => 0,
		));
	}
}

add_action( 'acf/init', 'af_barbershop_address_field' );

I also tried to include the acf.php file into my functions.php file :

$acf_url = WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/advanced-custom-fields/acf.php';
include_once( $acf_url );

All codes are in my functions file. After exporting the code, i deleted the field that created via panel and tried to create the exact same field with code, but it’s not working. What is the problem ? I’ve been dealing with this problem since last week.

What version of ACF are you using? I have version 5 but I get ‘acf_add_local_field_group’ instead of the register one.
