Rules for blocks not working in ACF 5.8.0-beta with WP 5.0-beta1

I tested with:
WP 5.0-beta1
ACF pro 5.8.0-beta1

I registered a block in my functions.php with acf_register_block and created a corresponding field group in WP. But I can’t select ‘Block’ in the location rules. I can see options like the options page, but there isn’t an option ‘block’.

I applied this patch that worked for me to see the field groups as meta boxes:

But I still can’t select ‘block’ in the location rules.

Ok, I think this is also a wordpress beta problem. I also have problems with Stackable Blocks for Gutenberg, too.

Hey @zielgestalt , having the same issues. Did you manage to figure out a solution to this problem?

No, I didn’t. Stackable Blocks for Gutenberg work with newer nightly builds of wordpress. But I still have problems with the AFC blocks.

Ok, with a complete fresh install of everything now it’s working with the lates beta2.
