Or is there a way that I could manually add the ACF metaboxes for the “Add new” form myself? Maybe in functions.php?
If it helps diagnose the problem, for some reason this user type can’t create drafts. Whenever they save the custom post type, it automatically becomes “Pending.”
If you could, just as a quick temporary fix, do you know if there’s a way to change the ‘Add New’ button to just create and save a blank draft? And then maybe to redirect to the edit page for that newly created blank draft? That way the custom fields would show up regardless.
I’ve tried turning off my theme, creating a new custom post type, and making the rules for the groups to also display for that custom post type. I also gave that user type all the same permissions as an admin using User Role Editor. The same thing happened. Are there any permissions specifically for ACF that would be missing from the rest of the permissions?
I turned on debugging, but can’t detect any JS or PHP errors
“Post Type is equal to Listing” is the rule. ‘Listing’ is the name of the custom post type
Okay, so I realized that the custom fields are showing up on the edit page for the custom post type for non-admins, but not when they’re initially creating the post. If they save the post as a draft or publish it, then the custom fields will display.
I don’t think this problem has to do with the theme or plugins. I tried changing the theme and deactivating everything, but the problem was still happening. I also tried creating a new custom post type, and the issue was still occurring for non-admins.
Any reason why it’d be doing this?
