Edit, Quick Edit & Delete Links Missing

I created a Custom Post Type (donations) and I use Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) to dynamically add posts via a front-end form. All works, but when I view the posts from the admin area, the usual “quick action” links (Edit, Quick Edit & Delete) are missing. Only the option to view the post exists.

Not sure if this is an acf thing or a custom post type thing or even a permissions thing. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

The donations Custom Post Type

function wpdev_donations_cpt() {

  $labels = array(
    'name' => _x( 'Donations', 'Post Type General Name', 'wpdev' ),

add_action('init', 'wpdev_donations_cpt', 0);

I also have the same issue. I have a staging version of our corp site locally. The toggles for quick view and admin view are on my local admin of the ACF. The same exact thing on my live site is missing the toggles. Both are v5.8.0.

Maybe this isn’t the exact same thing. But I’m missing the toggles (as mentioned) on the admin of a duplicate site on another server. Could be a plugin conflict – but they are also the same – some are licensed however and don’t function locally.

Moving to a new thread. I think this is a different problem.

UPDATE from my end. Totally and idiot. I had the ACF QuickEdit plugin installed locally and not on the server. This plugins adds the additional toggles. It was so well integrated that I thought it was ACF providing this feature.
