I think that my issue is that I have a few calls to get_field() in a plugin that are not in any action. This latest update exposed that issue in my code. I’ll fix and update ACF and post back here if that turns out not to be my issue.
Thanks!
If I put the call to get_field() in the ‘plugins_loaded’ action, I get the correct value. If I take it out of that action, I get an empty string.
I am also have this issue. It looks like it’s just the options that are no longer loading properly with get_field() when loaded via json file. The rest of my fields seem to be working with posts, pages, etc. They are loading in the options page, just not in my theme/plugins with get_field(). If I sync the field it works. I don’t like to sync the fields in production though because I pass acf-json/ through version control.
Let me know if there is any way I can help!
“We’ve kept backwards compatibility in mind by adding specific functionality that checks meta data calls and then intervenes to ensure the data gets routed to and from the correct tables.”
They did say this, which leads me to believe it will work.
