ACF doesn’t save value and setting max_input_vars doesn’t help.
The thing is that before I knew about ACF I had small custom code for adding meta box to my CTP. Now I have noticed that this is unnecessary so I would like to delete it and just add meta box with ACF Field Group. This is exactly what I did, and I have named my meta field “latin_name_branje” like I had it in my code.
For previously added CTP posts this field is correctly populated but I can’t save value on a new posts, nor edit or delete previously set values on older posts.
This was my piece of code for adding meta box
class branje_biljaka {
public function __construct() {
...
$this->add_meta_box();
}
public function add_meta_box() {
add_action('add_meta_boxes', function(){
add_meta_box('div', 'Latinsko ime', 'latin_name_branje', 'branje_biljaka', 'normal', 'high');
});
function latin_name_branje($post) {
$latin_name_branje = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'latin_name_branje', true);
?>
<p>
<input type="text" name="latin_name_branje" id="latin_name_branje" value="<?php echo esc_attr($latin_name_branje); ?>" />
</p>
<?php
}
add_action('save_post', function($id){
if(isset($_POST['latin_name_branje'])){
update_post_meta($id, 'latin_name_branje', strip_tags($_POST['latin_name_branje']));
}
});
}
}
If I set this inside functions.php
add_action('init', 'see_whats_posted');
function see_whats_posted() {
if ((!defined('DOING_AJAX') || !DOING_AJAX) && isset($_POST['acf'])) {
echo '<pre>'; print_r($_POST['acf']); die;
}
}
This is what I get, so I guess the problem is with this underscores while they should be hyphens.
Array
(
[poveznica] => 9995
[latin-name-branje] => asdf
)
How can I fix this, only by doing query on database or I can set something inside ACF? I thought I would just set the Field name for saving to correctly work, I though that Field label is just the label to show to users?
