Hi,

i’m currently working on a Importer plugin which works correctly but struggles with the taxonomies. They get all saved correctly with wp_set_object_terms and in the backend you can see the ACF fields set correctly but when i make a var_dump on the frontend, the meta fields aren’t visible.

Not until i hit the Update-Button on the newly imported post i’m able to see the set taxonomy.

This is the whole function that gets executed when i make an import

Any help would be awesome! Thanks

public function trr_import_entries()
	{
		$this->check_nonce();
		$data = json_decode(stripslashes($_POST['data']), true);
		$postTypes = array(
			'people' => array(
				'post_type' => 'person',
				'link' => 'people_id',
				'title' => array('title_pre', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'title_post'),
			),
			'projects' => array(
				'post_type' => 'project',
				'link' => 'project_id',
				'title' => 'title',
			),
			'publications' => array(
				'post_type' => 'publication',
				'link' => 'publication_id',
				'title' => 'T1'
			),
			'events' => array(
				'post_type' => 'tribe_events',
				'link' => 'event_id',
				'title' => 'title',
			),
		);

		foreach ($data['selected_entries'] as $entryType => $entries) {
			$entryLink = $postTypes[$entryType]['link'];
			$entryPostType = $postTypes[$entryType]['post_type'];
			$entryTitle = $postTypes[$entryType]['title'];

			foreach ($entries as $entry) {
				$id = $this->getPostByLink($entry[$entryLink], $entryPostType);

				if ($id !== 0) {
					if (!$this->isUpdateable($id, $entry['updated_at'])) {
						continue;
					}
				}

				if (is_array($entryTitle)) {
					$title = '';
					foreach ($entryTitle as $item) {
						if (!empty($entry[$item])) {
							$title .= $entry[$item] . ' ';
						}
					}
				} else {
					$title = $entry[$entryTitle];
				}

				$data = [
					'ID' => $id,
					'post_title' => $title,
					'post_type' => $entryPostType,
					'post_status' => 'publish'
				];

				$post = wp_insert_post($data);

				// Update ACF fields
				update_field('db_import_link', $entry[$entryLink], $post);
				update_field('db_import_updated_at', $entry['updated_at'], $post);

				// Fields configured in the Backend
				$postFields = get_field('db_import_entries_' . $entryType, 'option');

									$fieldGroup[$fieldEntry['entry_fieldname']] = $entry[$fieldEntry['entry_name']];
								}
								update_field($fieldParent, $fieldGroup, $post);
							}
						}
					}
				}

				if ($entryType == 'publications') {
					if (isset($entry['PY']) && !empty($entry['PY'])) {
						wp_set_object_terms($post, $entry['PY'], 'pub-year');
					}
					if (isset($entry['T2']) && !empty($entry['T2'])) {
						wp_set_object_terms($post, $entry['T2'], 'pub-journal');
					}

					if (isset($entry['TY']) && !empty($entry['TY'])) {
						$pubType = $entry['TY'];
						if ($pubType == 'JOUR') {
							wp_set_object_terms($post, 'Journal publication', 'pub-type');
						}
						if ($pubType == 'CHAP') {
							wp_set_object_terms($post, 'Chapter', 'pub-type');
						}
					}

					if (isset($entry['AB']) && !empty($entry['AB'])) {
						$postData = array(
							'ID'			=> $post,
							'post_content' 	=> $entry['AB'],

						);
						wp_update_post( $postData );
					}

					if ($peopleLinks = $this->trr_get_table('people_publications', array('key' => 'publication_id', 'val' => get_field('db_import_link', $post)))) {
						foreach ($peopleLinks as $link) {
							$personID = $this->getPostByLink($link->people_id, 'person');
							if ($personID) {
								update_field('authors', $personID, $post);
							}
						}
					}

					if ($projectLinks = $this->trr_get_table('projects_publications', array('key' => 'publication_id', 'val' => get_field('db_import_link', $post)))) {
						foreach ($projectLinks as $link) {
							$projectID = $this->getPostByLink($link->project_id, 'project');
							if ($projectID) {
								update_field('related_projects', $projectID, $post);
							}
						}
					}
