So, I have been playing around with the customizer the past few days and for the most part the ACF integration is great. However, here is my situation:
IF a widget with ACF fields already exists, the content stored in ACF fields will update in the customizer in real time perfectly.
IF a widget with ACF fields is added in the customizer, then the ACF fields in that specific widget will not update in realtime UNTIL I save and relaunch the customizer.
This is happening for custom made widgets, and widgets modified with the dynamic_sidebar_params filter.
Anyone get around this yet?
I submitted a bug report to the developer
Hi @mrbutlertron
Thanks for the bug report.
I’ve found a fix and will include in the next version!
Changes to widget content in the customizer aren’t updating in the live preview for me either… Was this fix implemented or do I need to use a workaround like the one mentioned in the following post:
