I maintain a wordpress plugin in which we use ACF to add optional fields to the edit page for every post. In production (wordpress 5.4.2), this is working as expected.
When testing this in a new local wordpress instance (5.7.2, with the Classic Editor plugin to bypass Gutenburg), the entire “acf-input” section is missing including the add button for each field.
This is the hook being called to load the fields:
acf_add_local_field_group(
array(
'key' => 'group_d5a22594839cd',
'title' => 'Field group title here',
'fields' => array(
array(
'key' => 'field_496edd4619978',
'label' => 'Article',
'name' => 'plugin_prefix_article',
'type' => 'flexible_content',
'instructions' => 'Field instructions here',
'required' => 0,
'conditional_logic' => 0,
'wrapper' => array(
'width' => '',
'class' => '',
'id' => '',
),
'layouts' => array(/* removed layouts for verbosity sake */),
'button_label' => 'Add Article',
'min' => '',
'max' => '',
),
array(
'key' => 'field_55f0cfc948b46',
'label' => 'Product',
'name' => 'plugin_prefix_product',
'type' => 'flexible_content',
'instructions' => 'Field instructions here',
'required' => 0,
'conditional_logic' => 0,
'wrapper' => array(
'width' => '',
'class' => '',
'id' => '',
),
'layouts' => array(/* removed layouts for verbosity sake */),
'button_label' => 'Add Product',
'min' => '',
'max' => '',
),
),
'location' => array(
array(
array(
'param' => 'post_type',
'operator' => '==',
'value' => 'post',
),
),
),
'menu_order' => 10,
'position' => 'normal',
'style' => 'default',
'label_placement' => 'top',
'instruction_placement' => 'label',
'hide_on_screen' => '',
'active' => true,
'description' => 'Field group description here',
)
);
This feels like I’m missing something very basic, but I genuinely don’t know what it is.
