Hi Guys,

Just done a fresh install of WordPress 5.0.3 and ACF PRO 5.7.11. and the ACF plugin doesn’t contain “acf_register_block” (used search directory in atom)

Here is my test to create a block which doesn’t pass the function exists if statement

function my_acf_init() {

    // check function exists
    if( ! function_exists('acf_register_block') )
		return;

    // register a full width banner block
    acf_register_block(array(
        'name'				=> 'full-width-banner',
        'title'				=> __('Full Width Banner'),
        'description'		=> __('A full width banner with Title, Introduction, Background Image And Link'),
        'render_template'	=> 'templates/page/blocks/full-width-banner-block.php',
        'category'			=> 'formatting',
        'mode'			    => 'preview',
        'icon'				=> 'admin-comments',
        'keywords'			=> array( 'banner'),
    ));
}
add_action('acf/init', 'my_acf_init');

The documentation still indicates that the function has been available since 5.0.0 – that is confusing and should be amended.
