I commonly turn off the default content editor visibility using the “Hide On Screen” options at the bottom of a field set. This isn’t working with WordPress 3.9. Selecting “Content Editor” does nothing to hide the default content editor when editing a page. ACF Version 4.3.7
Hi,
Are you using a custom post type, page or post?
I’m also seeing this on a 3.9.1 site. If I put a check mark in hide content editor and hide featured image and click update, the checked boxes uncheck themselves.
So I tried telling the ACF fields to show after Title – that didn’t save or work either. However all other custom field settings are saving and working without issue.
This site is a site built with the Roots starter theme. I’m using several plugins in addition to ACF like CF7, BackupBuddy, WordFence and responsive lightbox.
To answer the question above, mine is on a page. I’m telling ACF to show the fields for a certain page.
Another update on this – I just tried it on a completely separate WordPress 3.9.1 site, and it’s doing the same thing. It will not save the settings that are checked. Everything else is working – it just won’t hide things or re-position.
I later discovered that I had not applied the correct template to the page and the settings for the field-set were assigned via the template. After changing the template, it started behaving correctly. I apologize for reporting this issue as a bug when it turned out to be my own mistake.
Gotcha.
Mine is still a bug.
If I check settings such as “Hide Content Editor” ACF is not saving the settings since WP 3.9.1.
I’ve verified this on two different sites with the latest ACF plugin.
I’m not sure if this is exactly related, but I’m experiencing something similar. On a page (among many) using a particular template with custom fields, I wish to hide one custom field. Using the screen options at the top of the edit screen, I uncheck the field and it goes away. Upon updating the page, the box remains unchecked yet the field remains visible.
Running WP 3.9.2 and ACF 4.3.8
This problem has gone away for me with ACF v5
