Hi,
I have strange issue, when page is saved, data from fields are not saved.
There are 2 plain text input fields attached to post type = page.
WP 3.8
Plugin is included in theme as ACF LITE, and post meta is included with PHP.
On my local machine i create all fields with visual editor and then export them as PHP and then I include that file on production.
Not on my localhost and on production is not working.
I don’t get any errors.
Any advice pls?
Thanks in advanced

Hi @bobz
Can you try using ACF as a normal plugin, and removing it from your theme? Does this fix the issue?
Does the issue occur on your local version? I’m a bit confused about your statement regarding the local / live.
If you create a new field for the ‘page’ with a unique field_name, does it save correctly?
What do you mean by ‘and post meta is included with PHP.’
Thanks

Hi E,
Thanks for reply, and happy new year.
– Can you try using ACF as a normal plugin, and removing it from your theme? Does this fix the issue?
V: No. Problem occurs only on certain pages, on 4 from 20 pages I cannot save fields.
– Does the issue occur on your local version? I’m a bit confused about your statement regarding the local / live.
V: Yeah, on my localhost is clean WP installation and it happens there to.
local: localhost, live: production.
– If you create a new field for the ‘page’ with a unique field_name, does it save correctly?
V: I did that to, but not working either.
– What do you mean by ‘and post meta is included with PHP.’
V: Plugin is included in theme, and what I do is I export field groups in PHP and then include them in functions.php.
That way I can create all field groups on localhost and I don’t have to do everything again on production.
Strange thing is that this only happens on certain pages, on some of them it’s working fine. I don’t know what to think.
Will try to delete all post meta trough phpmyadmin.

Hi,
I have emptied postmeta table entirely and now it works.
Cannot do that on production site 😛
Any advice what might be issue here?

Hi @bobz
How bug was your postmeta table? Perhaps it was simply too big to save any more data on your server?
Thanks
E
Well I don’t know.
I had feeling that it stopped working after I imported data from production server to my localhost (wordpress export/import).
Cannot be to big on my localhost, it should work.
Strange issue.
I will try to re-create everything.

Hi @bobz
Thanks for the login info. I wonder if the issue is due to the fields being included by PHP. Maybe during the save process, the field’s arn’t being loaded?
Can you turn off LITE_MODE and create a field via the UI as per normal. Now that the field exists in the DB, can you try saving a value again? Does it work now?
Thanks

Hi,
I have manually delete all postmeta created by ACF.
Looks like I have 2 fields with same name under, I had
1. ‘address’ under options page
2. ‘address’ under page with title ‘Contact’
Could this be the issue?

Hi @bobz
I don’t believe this is an issue because these 2 fields save data into 2 separate tables:
1. wp_options
2. wp_postmeta
Is ACF working correctly for you now after you have deleted data?
Thanks
E
Hi Elliot,
Yeah, I taught so.
Anyway deleting solved my problem, really strange error, good thing it’s fixed.
Thanks for your time.
