Meta Boxes missing

I am like hitting my head to the wall whole day.
I have 2 meta boxes created by Advanced Custom Fields.

However, I also have this code, which displays only user’s stuff (only own content, posts, pages etc.)

function content_for_current_author($query) {
    if($query->is_admin) {
        global $user_ID;
        $query->set('author', $user_ID);
    }
    return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'content_for_current_author');

This code is working perfectly.

But it also disables those 2 meta boxes from ACF.

Can you guys please help me?

It would be awesome to finally solve it.

I have exactly the same issue. Would be most appreciated if a solution would be provided.

Cheers!

I think I got this solved.

I have created the fields with the Admin user (user_id == 1) and the field appeared when I modified the query to include the Admin user_id. Here is the code I’m using now to prevent other users from seeing others posts and displays the fields on post.php page.

add_filter('pre_get_posts', function($query) {

    if ($query->is_admin) {
        global $user_ID;
        global $pagenow;

        $allowedPages = ['post.php', 'post-new.php', 'admin-ajax.php'];

        if (in_array($pagenow, $allowedPages)) {
            $query->set('author__in', [$user_ID, 1]);
        } else {
            $query->set('author', $user_ID);
        }
    }

    return $query;

});
