Errors in Post Object field ( ACF 5.7.2 )

This happens during the taxonomy part of the field, I get the following errors:

Undefined index: Category in \wp-content\plugins\advanced-custom-fields-pro\includes\api\api-term.php on line 84

Undefined index: Tag in \wp-content\plugins\advanced-custom-fields-pro\includes\api\api-term.php on line 84

Trying to get property of non-object in \wp-content\plugins\advanced-custom-fields-pro\includes\api\api-helpers.php on line 1298

Trying to get property of non-object in \wp-content\plugins\advanced-custom-fields-pro\includes\api\api-helpers.php on line 1315

Trying to get property of non-object in \wp-content\plugins\advanced-custom-fields-pro\includes\api\api-helpers.php on line 1327

I have stack traces too if needed. It pretty much destroys the rest of the field rendering after these errors.

Hi @howdy_mcgee

Thanks for the bug report,
Elliot here – ACF dev​​​.

Sorry about this issue, it is easily solved.
Can you please edit the ‘api-terms.php’ file in question and change the acf_get_taxonomy_labels() function to:

function acf_get_taxonomy_labels( $taxonomies = array() ) {
	
	// default
	if( empty($taxonomies) ) {
		$taxonomies = acf_get_taxonomies();
	}
	
	// vars
	$ref = array();
	$data = array();
	
	// loop
	foreach( $taxonomies as $taxonomy ) {
		
		// vars
		$object = get_taxonomy( $taxonomy );
		$label = $object->labels->singular_name;
		
		// append
		$data[ $taxonomy ] = $label;
		
		// increase counter
		if( !isset($ref[ $label ]) ) {
			$ref[ $label ] = 0;
		}
		$ref[ $label ]++;
	}
	
	// show taxonomy name next to label for shared labels
	foreach( $data as $taxonomy => $label ) {
		if( $ref[$label] > 1 ) {
			$data[ $taxonomy ] .= ' (' . $taxonomy . ')';
		}
	}
	
	// return
	return $data;
}

Hello,

We have the same problem. Every post object field is broken. Error message is: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'collapsedLayouts-13288' of null.

Solved this by restoring version 5.7.1. Please fix asap!

Any progress on this? we were forced to downgrade every site to 5.7.1. 5.7.2 update breaks things!

As far as I can tell in the latest stable version of ACF this is no longer an issue. Whether or not it was the code above or something else I wouldn’t be able to say. I would suggest just downloading the latest stable version though and going with that 🙂
