Wordpress 4.8 breaks the plugin

[bovas85]

Hi there, I can't see the "settings" section in the plugins page for act-to-rest-api, and in advanced custom fields I don't see the switches to show / edit the custom field in the api.

[airesvsg]

Hi @bovas85,
please rename the plugin folder to: acf-to-rest-api and activate again.

Thanks

[bovas85]

Hi @airesvsg , that's the folder name in the plugins but it doesn't show any setting there.

I'm getting it to show in the rest call now, but I still can't choose whether to have it be editable or not

[airesvsg]

Hi @bovas85,
Please, copy the filters below and paste in your functions.php to enable the settings.

// Enable the option show in rest
add_filter( 'acf/rest_api/field_settings/show_in_rest', '__return_true' );
// Enable the option edit in rest
add_filter( 'acf/rest_api/field_settings/edit_in_rest', '__return_true' );

@airesvsg
I have a fresh WP 4.8 installation, ACF 4.4.11 and ACF to REST API 2.2.1.
I copied provided filters to functions.php and re-activated plugin, plugins folder is called acf-to-rest-api, and I do not see settings of this plugin nor options "Show in REST API", "Edit in REST API".

Requests like /wp-json/acf/v2/post/1 work though.

[airesvsg]

Hi @khejit,
I tested it now and I saw the options.
Thanks

ACF 4.4.11

ACF PRO 5.6.2

Hi @airesvsg,
Those fields are not showing up in my experience. I have deactivated them, reactivated the plugins and tried creating new fields, etc and they still aren't showing up for me. Please see screenshots below:

Any other recommendations?
Thanks,
Seth

[airesvsg]

Hello @sethcmiller,

Did you use those filters?
https://github.com/airesvsg/acf-to-rest-api#field-settings

Thanks

[sethcmiller]

Thanks for the reply, @airesvsg,
Yes, I am using them in my theme's functions.php file:

Any other ideas?
Seth

[EvanAgee]

Ditto, any fix for this?

[airesvsg]

@sethcmiller Can you send your files ( theme and database dump ) to my email?
airesvsg@gmail.com

@EvanAgee In my tests, I can't simulate the error.

Thanks

@airesvsg I had the same issue when i had got the plugin from wordpress. If i use the beta version from git it works.

How do you get all the fields back? acf and standard wordpress in one call for a post or group of posts?

[adamjw3]

@airesvsg actually it doesn't work on version 4.8. This is pretty urgent, when will a fix be available?

[bovas85]

There are other plugins that work

[airesvsg]

Please, send me your files.
airesvsg@gmail.com

[adamwright32]

Which plugins work? Many thanks. Will send files Monday

[adamwright32]

@airesvsg i've sent those files to you

[airesvsg]

Hi @adamwright32,
I haven't received your files yet.
Thanks

[adamwright32]

@airesvsg just sent again but this time via we transfer

[airesvsg]

Hi @adamwright32,
please, put the filters in the top of functions.php and it's will work.
I sent for your email the functions.php.
Thanks

Hello,

same problems.

Wordpress Version: 4.8.2
ACF Pro Version: 5.6.2
Theme: Twentyseventeen

I added the Filters in top of my functions.php

I don't see the options

[adamwright32]

@airesvsg thats still not work, sent you an email.

[obedparla]

Same issue here. Added filters to functions.php and still doesn't work.

Wordpress: 4.8.2
ACF Pro: 5.6.2
ACF to rest api: both 2.2.1 (latest from WP plugins) and the beta version 3.0.1 from github.

Deactivated plugins a few times, recreated CFs and nothing.

Edit:

Accessing /wp-json/wp/v2/game_reviews?_embed (where game_reviews is a custom post type) works. I can see all of the ACF fields! However the option to show them on the rest api inside ACF (as showed by @sethcmiller ) is not there yet.

[vicocotea]

Almost same issue for me.
I can't see the 'Settings' link in plugins page. I tried to enable V3 with :

define('ACF_TO_REST_API_REQUEST_VERSION', 3);

and also :

add_filter( 'acf/rest_api/field_settings/show_in_rest', '__return_true' );
add_filter( 'acf/rest_api/field_settings/edit_in_rest', '__return_true' );

but V3 API calls are not working (404) and buttons Edit/Show in rest aren't visible.
I can see acf fields in V2 api for posts (/wp-json/wp/v2/posts) but not for categories and tags.

I have a multisite install and I also use bedrock https://roots.io/bedrock/
I'll try asap to replicate this issue in single install without bedrock.

And thanks @airesvsg for this great plugin

[vicocotea]

Just tried in another website without multisite and without bedrock.
And issues are still there.

So this not related to multisite and/or bedrock.

[adamwright32]

@airesvsg any update on this issue, @vicocotea are you using acf pro version as well?

[vicocotea]

@adamwright32 yes, pro version.

[vicocotea]

I just tried with a wp basic install :

• wp 4.8.2
• twentyseventeen theme
• acf 4.4.12
• with or without acf pro 5.4.6

and still have the same issues (no v3 api call, no buttons in acf and acf fields in rest call for categories)

[vicocotea]

Humm sorry, I didn't see that v3 was on github not on wordpress plugin repository.
So I installed v3 (3.0.1-beta) and it works a lot better :)

I still not see the Settings button in plugins page. But I can now :

• call the v3 api
• see acf fields in taxonomy api calls
• enable/disable Show/edit in rest api for each acf field

So I switch to v3 and hope the beta is pretty stable.

Thanks @airesvsg and sorry for the misunderstanding.
Maybe you can update the readme and/or publish the v3 on wordpress repository

[sebastienfi]

I migrated to WP 4.8.2 with ACF PRO and a lot of other plugins, and nothing broke with the latest version of acf-to-rest-api

[vicocotea]

Just looked a little bit more at this plugin (v3) maybe it can help.
Setting :
define('ACF_TO_REST_API_REQUEST_VERSION', 3);
hide the Settings button in plugin page.

[adamwright32]

@vicocotea did you get it working?

i have the settings available but when i go to "http://localhost:8888/wp-json/acf/v3/article"

i got the below and no data from fields

[{"id":2381,"acf":[]},{"id":1637,"acf":[]},{"id":909,"acf":[]}]

[vicocotea]

@adamwright32 Yes it works with v3.
What's article ?

I just had an issue with post_tag and used this solution #43

@airesvsg is it normal that I need this solution #43 in v3 (for post_tag/tags) ?

[adamwright32]

@vicocotea sorry i'm not sure what the fix is.

what do i need to do?

[adamwright32]

@vicocotea article is a custom post type, i have other ones and they all return without content

e.g http://localhost:8888/wp-json/acf/v3/ebook

[{"id":2693,"acf":[]},{"id":2692,"acf":[]},{"id":2691,"acf":[]},{"id":2690,"acf":[]},{"id":2689,"acf":[]},{"id":2688,"acf":[]},{"id":2687,"acf":[]}]

[vicocotea]

Sorry @adamwright32 I don't know. I just use posts, categories and tags.

[medinazdago]

@adamwright32 try with:

//Adding post_types to wp-api rest
add_action( 'init', 'my_custom_post_type_rest_support', 25 );

function my_custom_post_type_rest_support() {

    global $wp_post_types;

//be sure to set this to the name of your post type!
    $post_type_name = 'your_post_type_name';

    if( isset( $wp_post_types[ $post_type_name ] ) ) {

        $wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->show_in_rest = true;
// Optionally customize the rest_base or controller class
        $wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->rest_base = $post_type_name;
        $wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->rest_controller_class = 'WP_REST_Posts_Controller';

    }

}
