Hiding Blocks/Fields with ACF in Gutenberg

Hello everyone,

if Gutenberg is activated, it seems that no elements are hidden via the field group settings.
In my case the field group is visible/activated for a page with page template.
The featured image or the text editor (blocks). Everything is visible.

If I deactivate Gutenberg all elements are hidden as they should be.

Is it just on my install, or do I have to do something?

Best
Matthias

Yes, changes to ACF are coming to deal with gutenberg, but they are not ready. gutenberg should not be used on a live site yet.

@matteo-websolution Are you talking to me? If not, then you should contact ACF or open a new topic.

Here is the last release info:

recently I got the following tip from a user on the wordpress forum:

@matthias-honert i’m talking to @hube2, just arrived here googling, and i think this topic isn’t closed yet…

FYI and FI of others, Elliot is working on a solution directly with Gutenberg staff on Github… https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/12692

@matteo-websolution okay. I thought my post is so old (august 2018), there was no extra forum for gutenberg and gutenberg was a plugin at this time.

I couldn’t solve this even if I wanted to, I’m not an ACF dev. But I’m sure Elliot is doing the best he can with the update.

@hube2 sorry, think i was a bit confused when i read how secure you were saying “Yes, changes to ACF are coming to deal with gutenberg, but they are not ready.”

Please leave this opened until a dev finish acf integrations.

I’ve managed to reduce the height of the Content block so the ACF section appear higher up the page.
Not a solution, but might help some of you out.
