Are there any limitation to the acf/format_value filter when using on a date field?
For example if i do this:
function my_acf_format_value( $value, $post_id, $field ) {
if ($field["name"] == 'my_field_key') {
$value = 'test';
return $value;
}
}
add_filter('acf/format_value', 'my_acf_format_value', 10, 3);
on a text field it will echo ‘test’, but if i do it on a date field it will echo nothing. ?
Sorry – It will echo the original format date.
More than likely your filter is running before the ACF filter, but that’s just a guess. You can try setting the priority to 20 for your filter. The ACF filter attempts to correctly format the date. Passing it a non-date value will have unpredictable results.
Thanks, but the priority thing doesn’t work. btw – it’s the same thing with a number field type also.
