Hello friends! I’m facing an odd problem.
I have a custom post type (“Directory”) with a custom taxonomy (“Teaching Area”). Running ACF 5.12.3, updates to the taxonomy won’t go through – the page says it updates, but “update” box freezes, and the changes aren’t saved.
HOWEVER, running identical plugins/themes/database on my dev environment (just overwrote the dev database today with the prod database), updates still work. I can’t fathom what’s going on.
I might have narrowed it down a little, or this might be a red herring. Using the network analyzer, I can see the dev server sends a POST request to admin-ajax.php with the appropriate fields that looks like this:
{
action "acf/ajax/check_screen"
screen "post"
exists[] "group_5e8760d16c339"
post_id "42955"
post_type "directory-entry"
page_template ""
page_type "parent"
post_terms[directory_category][] "11"
post_terms[teaching_area] {[
0 "170"
1 "168"
]}
}
The prod server DOES NOT send such a request. I cannot think of any reason that could possibly be. I thought it might be a firewall/Wordfence issue, but I’m not seeing anything there.
Color me baffled. I’m not expecting anybody to be able to help with this, but I’m posting this to cover my *** with my boss. 😛 Any ideas?
