filter 'acf/field_group/get_fields' missing in ACF pro

hello there 😉

today purchased the ACF pro version. in the ACF free version i used to call a filter to get the field values from a field group.

$fields = apply_filters(‘acf/field_group/get_fields’, $array, $field_group_id);

calling this filter would return me all the field values from that specific $field_group_id of the current post and then i can loop through the $fields array and do whatever i want to do.

but since upgrading to the ACF pro version i don’t get anything returned by the apply_filter call

if i do a search in the ACF pro code for the string ‘acf/field_group/get_fields’ then nothing is found.

perhaps the filter name has changed? or is there another function i need to call to get all the fields value by the field group id from the current post?

any help would be really more than awesome as i want this to also work on the ACF pro version.

thanks again for such a great plugin 😉

looking forward to your reply

greetings & all the best

The filter has been removed in ACF5 and was not replaced. Instead there are function to call depending on what you need.

get_fields() returns all the values for a specific post. http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_fields/

I’m not sure there’s a function that gets all the field values based on the group id. There is a function that gets all the field objects by the group id. ‘acf_get_fields($group_key)`, this one is not in the documentation.
