Incompatibility with Custom Sidebars?

Since version 4.17, ACF seems to be breaking the ability to re-order widgets in the Appearance > Widgets area. It might be an incompatibility with the Custom Sidebars plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sidebars/).

I’ve tried every release since and have had to keep reverting to 4.16.

The odd thing is that the conflict is intermittent, meaning that you can re-arrange a few and then it stops working (with ACF version about 4.16). With 4.16 is all works as expected.

I suspect some sort of javascript conflict with Custom Sidebars, but the console shows no errors.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi @digitalfusion

How bout with ACF 4.2.0?

Well, I’d just tried 4.2.1 and it had the same problem, so I had to revert again to 4.1.6.

I don’t think I’d ever tried 4.2.0 specifically.

Hi @digitalfusion

Perhaps you could open the console log and watch for any JS errors during the page interaction.

Are there any JS errors to report?

This would suggest a SJ error between ACF and the Sidebar plugin which is possible.
