"No options pages exist" error on ACF PRO 5.0.4

Hi all

I’ve just recently installed ACF PRO on a new site and am running into an issue with the Options feature (née add-on). I’ve added the v5.x code to add in Options pages into my functions.php, the Options page shows up, but when adding a new Custom Field Group, it says “No options pages exist”.

Here’s the code I’m using:

function lb_add_option_menus() {
	if (function_exists('acf_add_options_page')) {
		acf_add_options_page();
		acf_add_options_sub_page('Page 1');
		acf_add_options_sub_page('Page 2');
	}
}

And here’s the action add_action('admin_menu', 'lb_add_option_menus', 98);

I’ve tried deactivating/reactivating ACF PRO, changing the priority for the admin_menu action, and read through a number of support threads on this site, but can’t seem to rectify the issue. If anyone has a fix, I’d love to see it!

Basic details
WordPress Version: 3.9.2
ACF PRO Version: 5.0.2
PHP Version: 5.5.10

Cheers!

Try this instead:

	if( function_exists('acf_add_options_page') ) {
		
		acf_add_options_page(array(
			'page_title' 	=> 'Options',
			'menu_title'	=> 'Options',
			'menu_slug' 	=> 'options',
			'capability'	=> 'edit_posts',
			'redirect'	=> false
		));
		
		acf_add_options_sub_page(array(
			'page_title' 	=> 'Page 1',
			'menu_title'	=> 'Page 1',
			'parent_slug'	=> 'options',
		));
		
		acf_add_options_sub_page(array(
			'page_title' 	=> 'Page 2',
			'menu_title'	=> 'Page 2',
			'parent_slug'	=> 'options',
		));
	
	}

Not need for an action hook.

Thanks Etic, that worked! I thought you had to wrap it in a function along with an add_action hook, but I guess not.
