I’m trying to integrate the AFC with a plugin but an error occurs. The fields are all out of place

it is like this

so I had to is

What can be wrong?

I am using it in my plugin:

add_filter('acf/settings/path', 'my_acf_settings_path');
 
function my_acf_settings_path( $path ) {
 
    // update path
    $path = plugin_dir_path(__FILE__).'functions/acf/';
    
    // return
    return $path;
    
}
 

// 2. customize ACF dir
add_filter('acf/settings/dir', 'my_acf_settings_dir');
 
function my_acf_settings_dir( $dir ) {
 
    // update path
    $dir = plugins_url(). 'functions/acf/';
    
    // return
    return $dir;
    
}
 

// 3. Hide ACF field group menu item
add_filter('acf/settings/show_admin', '__return_false');

// 4. Include ACF
require_once( plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'functions/acf/acf.php' );

add_filter('acf/settings/load_json', 'my_acf_json_load_point');

function my_acf_json_load_point( $paths ) {
    
    // remove original path (optional)
    unset($paths[0]);
    
    
    // append path
    $paths[] = plugin_dir_path(__FILE__).'functions/acf/json';
    
    
    // return
    return $paths;
    
}

Hi @atrevido

It’s possible that your code is executed before ACF is loaded. Could you please try to add the code in acf/init hook? This page should give you more idea about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acfinit/.

Also, please make sure that the returned path and URL are correct. You can also check the developer tools on your browser for any error messages on the page.

I hope this helps 🙂

remove this part and is now functioning normally
add_filter (‘acf /settings/dir’, ‘my_acf_settings dir’);

Hi @atrevido

Then it means there’s something wrong with how you set the directory. I believe you need to pass __FILE__ constant to get the current directory of the plugin like this:

$dir = plugins_url( 'functions/acf/', dirname(__FILE__) );

This page should give you more idea about it: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/plugins_url.

I hope this helps 🙂
