thanks mate, yes that workaround did the trick for the time being.
I’ll post a ticket, thanks for the help!
no worries, see attached!
in case it helps I’m on WordPress v4.4.1.
The Field Group is associated with a very simple custom widget that is essentially just an empty shell for ACF, here’s the code:
<?php
class SECallToActionWidget extends WP_Widget {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct(
'se_call_to_action_widget',
'Call to Action',
array( 'description' => 'Displays a call to action tile', )
);
}
public function widget( $args, $instance ) {
extract($args);
// Loads theme file to handle ACF fields on front end
include (THEME_FILE_PATH.'widget-call-to-action.php');
}
public function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
$instance = $old_instance;
return $instance;
}
}
One other thing i notice is that if i do anything to the form that triggers js (such as selecting a “Link Type” radio button, which causes other fields to hide/show) the tabs then snap into action.
So i’m guessing the JS that sets up the tabs is firing too early, or not at all, when the user expands a widget option box.
