  • Hi rhcarlosweb, unfortunately there wasn’t a solution to this. I did get an official response from ACF confirming this, but I can’t seem to find it.

    Since the client had a limited number of categories, I just selected each one of them in the “Filter by Taxonomy” field. Definitely not ideal, but it works for now.

  • Thanks again for helping out, John. I built a workaround by adding various radio buttons to the UX. Not ideal but it gets the job done.

  • Sadly the same result. FYI, I have the code at the bottom of my functions.php file.

  • John, thank you so much for the quick response! They are similar but not the same.

  • I am trying to do simple validation on a text field. If no value, then require a different field. It is not working for me; it’s choking and preventing form submission whether or not there is a value in the text field. Any thoughts on what I’m missing? 

    
// conditionally require video field IF playlist ID field is blank
add_filter('acf/validate_value/key=field_5c7ea3fd1ff26', 'acf_validate_video', 10, 4);

function acf_validate_video( $valid, $value, $field, $input ) {
	
	// bail early if value is already invalid
	if( !$valid ) { return $valid; }
	
    //$playlistID = 'test';
    $playlistID = $_POST['acf']['field_5c8fe92190fd6'];
	
	if ( $playlistID == '' ) {
		if (!$value) {
			$valid = __('You must select a video if no Playlist ID is defined.');
		}
	}

	return $valid;
}

  • more context:

    With the relationship field, I can only choose the categories one by one, rather than just choose “categories,” as you can with a Taxonomy custom field. So, as categories change, I’d have to adjust each relationship field, and there are MANY.

    Taxonomy custom field = filter by taxonomy TYPE

    Relationship custom field = filter by taxonomy TERM

    Need the relationship custom field to filter by ALL categories (and ONLY categories, not tags) without selecting each one manually.

  • Apologies if this is a duplicate reply. The system hasn’t accepted previous submits.

    I instead chose to run the __search_by_title_only function only when a user is logged in, which satisfies my requirement.

    Here’s the exact code I used:

    function __search_by_title_only( $search, $wp_query )
    {
    global $wpdb;

    $q = $wp_query->query_vars;
    $n = ! empty( $q[‘exact’] ) ? ” : ‘%’;
    $search =
    $searchand = ”;
    foreach ( (array) $q[‘search_terms’] as $term ) {
    $term = esc_sql( like_escape( $term ) );
    $search .= “{$searchand}($wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE ‘{$n}{$term}{$n}’)”;
    $searchand = ‘ AND ‘;
    }
    if ( ! empty( $search ) ) {
    $search = ” AND ({$search}) “;
    }
    return $search;

    }

    // call this function ONLY if user is logged in (e.g. admin, editor)
    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    add_filter(‘posts_search’, ‘__search_by_title_only’, 500, 2);
    }

    FYI:
    I omitted the “&” from the 2nd parameter because it was throwing errors sitewide: “Parameter 2 to __search_by_title_only( ) expected to be a reference”

    Produced errors:
    function __search_by_title_only( $search, &$wp_query )

    Working:
    function __search_by_title_only( $search, $wp_query )

  • Hi John, thanks for your reply. I misspoke. It’s not searching meta but rather post_content, and I ONLY want it to search post_title.

    Can I alter the query to only apply to ACF cases (acf/fields/post_object/query)? I certainly don’t want to alter it sitewide.
