Groups prepend empty key/value pair
-
I’ve noticed acf adds an empty key/value pair on groups as the first record.
As an example, here’s my group of groups for cities and regions of a particular country. The JSON is at the bottom.This dump:
var_dump(get_field( 'category_info', $custom_fields_selector )['featured_items']['cities']);(which should have a 5 records)Will return this:
array (size=6) '' => null // Where does this come from? 'object_1' => array (size=4) 'select_object_type' => string 'category' (length=8) 'taxonomy' => int 112 'article' => boolean false 'article_anchor' => string '' (length=0) 'object_2' => array (size=4) 'select_object_type' => string 'category' (length=8) 'taxonomy' => int 92 'article' => boolean false 'article_anchor' => string '' (length=0) 'object_3' => array (size=4) 'select_object_type' => string 'category' (length=8) 'taxonomy' => int 43 'article' => boolean false 'article_anchor' => string '' (length=0) 'object_4' => array (size=4) 'select_object_type' => string 'post' (length=4) 'taxonomy' => boolean false 'article' => int 8491 'article_anchor' => string 'Costa Blanca' (length=12) 'object_5' => array (size=4) 'select_object_type' => string 'post' (length=4) 'taxonomy' => boolean false 'article' => int 6975 'article_anchor' => string 'Navarra' (length=7)I have tried re-saving the category page, change values and creating new groups. All of which result in the same behaviour.
When I had this last week I thought it was because I named some fields as single digits (get_field( 'category_info', $custom_fields_selector )['featured_items']['cities']['1']['url']for example), but after starting a new WP installation and database, the issue persists.JSON:
