I create an option page with ACF PRO and i want that fields are avaiable in all languages.

Now i get to them with

get_field(‘name’, ‘options’)

but they arent’ displayed in translated pages.

Hi @effebiconsulting

You can make use of the acf/settings filter to reset the current language so as to return language independent theme options. The code would look like so:

// add this
add_filter('acf/settings/current_language',function() {
     global $sitepress;
     return $sitepress->get_default_language();
});

// this is already in your code
$my_field =  get_field('my_field', 'option');

// reset to original language
add_filter('acf/settings/current_language',function() {
     return ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE;
});

Hi @James,

that code should be stored in functions.php or should be every file that we use elements from options.

Thanks,
Andreas

A little addition, although it’s an older topic.

I needed this as well, but as @andreasdm mentioned already, it needs to added ‘around’ each option that you retrieve.

So I made it a bit easier, so you don’t have to add this around each get option field you use. I made a custom function (which needs to be added in functions.php) which returns the original value, based on the field name that is inputted.

/**
 * Force return default language option value
 *
 * @param bool $field_name
 *
 * @return bool|mixed|null
 */
function beee_get_filtered_option( $field_name = false ) {

    if ( false == $field_name ) {
        return $field_name;
    }

    /**
     * Set language to default
     *
     * @return bool|mixed
     */
    function beee_set_default_lang() {
        global $sitepress;
        return $sitepress->get_default_language();
    }
    add_filter( 'acf/settings/current_language', 'beee_set_default_lang' );

    // retrieve $field_name option value
    $value = get_field( $field_name, 'option' );

    /**
     * Reset to 'real' language
     *
     * @return mixed
     */
    function beee_reset_to_real_lang() {
        return ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE;
    }
    add_filter( 'acf/settings/current_language', 'beee_reset_to_real_lang' );

    return $value;
}
if ( class_exists( 'acf' ) ) {
    add_action( 'init', 'sd_get_filtered_option' );
}

Add this as is. No changes needed.

Then call each option value like this:
beee_get_filtered_option( $option_field_name );
