Hi John,
Thanks for the troubleshooting tips.
On my local I do see all the acf-field posts, and their post_titles have content, but the post_excerpts are empty.
I reimported one of the acf-json files and it seemed to work, all the field names are in post_excerpts, and I can see them in the Field Groups page. I updated back to 5.8 and it’s still fine.
I went to test this on staging but it didn’t work. Then I remembered I had downgraded my local ACF to 5.7.13. So I tried downgrading on staging but that didn’t work either. I even tried deleting and reinstalling ACF. I tried with all plugins deactivated, and with them active. Here are the ones I have installed:
ACF Pro
Classic Editor
Disable Emojis (GDPR friendly)
Safe SVG
WordPress Importer
WP Sync DB
WP Sync DB Media Files
Yoast SEO
I’ve built a ton of sites using some combo or all of the above plugins, and more. I’m kind of at a loss for what to do next. Luckily if it all goes to shit I’m only down the home page content as I’ve just started on this project. I can push my local db up to stage and probably fix it that way, still kind of nerve wracking.
Thanks again.
Interesting, I’ve been using Classic Editor the whole time. Disabling and reenabling didn’t do anything.
