Where are you putting this code? In your theme or somewhere else. Also, how is ACF installed, normally or in the theme?

Core is inside function.php in my theme.

Acf is installed normaly in plugins

Some debugging, because, well, that’s odd

put this just before you try to create the field groups, load a page on the site and see what happens then immediately remove the code. The reason is that this will cause other errors and we’re just trying to find out if the function exists when you are trying to use it.

if (function_exists('acf_add_local_field_group')) {
  echo 'function exists';
} else {
  echo 'function does not exist';
}
die;

Are both field groups not appearing or just one of them is not appearing?

I just took a close look at the location rules on the second one and the values there indicate that they are

Post Type is equal to Post
AND
Post Type is equal to Page

which is impossible.

Hi John,

thanks for help, i think i figured out where was the problem.

I thought that this php import will create the ACF in admin. So i can edit them etc, but it will only show them on their location. My fail. I’ll use JSON.

Thanks for your time, i appreciate it!

ah, that explains it. I thought that the fields were not showing up on the posts and pages. Yes, you’re correct. If you want to be able to edit them then you need to import them using ACF and not use PHP.
