You can try to duplicate the page via another plugin (or manually if it’s not that big). I did it and it worked for me. Sometimes WordPress has some kind of weird caching especially in Template Names (if you change it in the code it still appears in the dropdown).
That fixed it for me at least. Because it worked on other pages where ACF still worked well before.

Hey @elliot
We’ve tried the version you put on github but it still doesn’t work. Same error. Are you using the latest version of options page plugin? (Or better which one do you use?)
Hey @elliot any news so far? π
Hey,
yeah that sounds fine.
You should now have access for editing plugins.
Thanks so far.
Hey guys,
any news here regarding the js-issue?
Or am I just doing it wrong with using the latest Options Page version but a later an older (4.1.6) version of ACF?
Best,
Kevin
Hey @elliot
sorry that my answer took a while but we solved that problem with buying another add-on of it. π
Best,
Kevin
Hey @elliot
Ah okay thanks.
Yep, I know but it says that there are no updates.
And the bad thing, I can’t login into the store account because it has been downloaded by a former colleague of mine and we don’t have her login data. Is it possible to get these back without purchasing the plugin again?
Best,
Kevin
Hey Elliot,
I’ll answer your questions asap, hope that I will make it this week, working on a different project these days.

@edir did that change anything? I’m asking because I’ve got the same problem and tried to update to the latest version from github. π
@elliot the docs say you need at least Options Page 1.1.0 for
if( function_exists('acf_add_options_sub_page') )
{
acf_add_options_sub_page( 'Footer' );
}
/*
* Create an advanced sub page called 'Footer' that sits under the General options menu
*/
if( function_exists('acf_add_options_sub_page') )
{
acf_add_options_sub_page(array(
'title' => 'Footer',
'parent' => 'options-general.php',
'capability' => 'manage_options'
));
}
to be effective but the plugin says there are no updates and we’re currently on 1.0.
Sure, that was my first idea yesterday.
Here they are:
Hey Elliot,
nope it’s not required regarding the Options page.
Sorry for still bugging you with that.
Maybe I should dig deeper in the DB, do you have any idea where to start?
Hey Elliot,
seems logical but it didn’t work. When I try to save it without a value it says βPlease provide a custom field value.β or when i delete the field, save the post without that custom field it still appears. Same happens when I delete it in the DB. :/

Hey!
Sorry but I’m no native speaker so it’s sometimes a bit weird to describe technical problems as it would be in German.
Because of the settings in the field group it’s only possible to see this field group on the “Options Page” (because of ACF Options Page Plugin). But it also visible on a real Page (with content and stuff like that). And like you said: “Upon and after save, the value is not updated and I see the original value”, in other words: this field shouldn’t be there – and shouldn’t be set and because of that a “slider”(which we built with ACF) appears where it shouldn’t be.
Hey again.
Aaaahm, the issue with “adding links doesn’t work because it closes the tab” happens here in that WYSIWG-Editor on support.advancedcustomfields.com. That had nothing to do with the actual bug.
The link was just a reference to the actual problem but it’s not exactly like that in our System. I just can’t delete a field which has been set earlier. Neither through the plugin itself nor the “native” custom fields of WordPress. It seems like it’s kinda cached and after I Update the Settings it still appears in the “native” custom fields of WordPress.
We built our own slider with ACF (where you set the images) and they should only appear where you actually set them (e.g. Pages->Home/Index (created as a normal WordPress Page). And if I want to delete it in Pages->Subpage it’s still there even if I delete the fields.
Hope it’s a little bit clearer now. π
