Fixed.
I’ve replaced the above filter with the following from here -> http://blog.rutwick.com/display-only-the-posts-authored-by-the-current-wp-user-on-the-posts-page-in-the-back-end.
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'filter_posts_list');
function filter_posts_list($query)
{
//$pagenow holds the name of the current page being viewed
global $pagenow;
//$current_user uses the get_currentuserinfo() method to get the currently logged in user's data
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
//Shouldn't happen for the admin, but for any role with the edit_posts capability and only on the posts list page, that is edit.php
if(!current_user_can('administrator') && current_user_can('edit_posts') && ('edit.php' == $pagenow)){
//global $query's set() method for setting the author as the current user's id
$query->set('author', $current_user->ID);
}
}
Update,
i’ve narrowed it down to the fact that i’m using this code to stop anyone who is logged in as a role of school being able to see anyone elses posts.
function posts_for_current_author($query) {
global $user_level;
if($query->is_admin && $user_level < 5) {
global $user_ID;
$query->set('author', $user_ID);
unset($user_ID);
}
unset($user_level);
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'posts_for_current_author');
If i remove that, the custom fields show fine.
Any idea how to modify that code so it doesnt interfere with ACF?
