Home Forums Backend Issues (wp-admin) I can’t edit any field on ACF

Solved

I can’t edit any field on ACF

  • I am already using the latest version (6.2.4), but I am unable to edit any custom fields in the group fields. I can create new ones and delete (and duplicate) the existing ones, but when I click on edit, it doesn’t work. When I hover over the button, the link shows the exact URL I am on, but with a # at the end. For example: wp-admin/post.php?post=21281&action=edit#

    I have already watched YouTube videos about editing and creating new fields, and everything works fine there. I was using version 6.2.1 (which also didn’t work), and I updated it, but it still doesn’t work.

    I may not have enough permissions, but the administrator has already told me that I do. If I can’t edit, why can I delete?

  • Look for JavaScript errors in the browser console. More than likely this is the cause but you need to look for the specifics.

  • Yeah, I got this error when i click to edit the field:

        at a.fn.select2 (select2.min.js?ver=1.0:2:28802)

    And this error when i click to edit the fields groups (but this works fine)

  • You either have a conflict with another plugin or you have a corrupt JS file on the site. I cannot tell by what you provided where the error is happening, what file is initiating the error. You need to start there. Is it an ACF file or something else?

    A test to see if you have a corrupt JS file is to add this to your wp-config.php file

    
    define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', true);
    

    This will not tell you where the issue is, but it will tell you that you have a corrupted, minified JS file. If the site still has the error then there is a conflict and you’ll need to figure out what is causing the conflict.
