Using ACF's apply_filters() in other plugins

I’m building a plugin that uses apply_filters(‘acf/field_group/get_fields’, array(), $acf->ID), et al.

For some reason, these aren’t doing anything at all. No error, no results. Just nothing. It’s like the filter doesn’t exist. Is this a limitation with using them in another plugin?

If so, then how were you able to do it in ACF Options Page?

Here’s my plugin code:

Check out public function export() {} in the second link.

Hi @dallen

I’m not sure why the filter isn’t working.

Can you do some debugging to make sure the acf files are correctly being included? Perhaps the core/controllers/field_group.php file is not created correcty?

Perhaps it needs to be included before ‘init’?

I have a feeling the issue is based on the ‘timing’ of the actions.

Hope that helps.

Thanks
