Not working for options pages

[ethanclevenger91]

I wasn't able to post updates to options pages using the latest ACF PRO. I did some digging and come across a couple of potential problems, but I don't claim to know exactly how your plugin works.

1 - I see you're attempting to use option as the post_id argument to acf_get_field_groups, but this doesn't return any fields. I found that a successful call to that function for an options page looks like this:

array (size=18)
  'post_id' => int 0
  'post_type' => int 0
  'page_template' => int 0
  'page_parent' => int 0
  'page_type' => int 0
  'post_status' => int 0
  'post_format' => int 0
  'post_taxonomy' => null
  'taxonomy' => int 0
  'user_id' => int 0
  'user_role' => int 0
  'user_form' => int 0
  'attachment' => int 0
  'comment' => int 0
  'widget' => int 0
  'lang' => string '' (length=0)
  'ajax' => boolean false
  'options_page' => string 'site-general-settings' (length=21)

With the registered options page slug there at the end.

2 - It looks like the ACF Pro Options extension isn't even loaded when the API request is made. I put a die in the constructor for the acf_pro_options_page class and it never fired while making an API request. This means that when it attempts to validate the field, it doesn't find it, unless you're doing something special on your end to bootstrap that.

That's what I found, but maybe it's way off base and I totally misunderstand what's happening. Anyway, moral of the story is I can't currently update any ACF options with this plugin. Let me know if you have thoughts.

Thanks!

Yeah, options page isn't working for me either.

I just get:

{ code: "rest_no_route", message: "No route was found matching the URL and request method", data: { status: 404 } }

Hi @ethanclevenger91 and @Specik,
I'll test this.

Thanks

I tested and didn't see any problem. I recorded a video with the test, follow the link:

Your example shows a GET request, which does indeed work for me, but I'm getting the same error as @Specik when trying to POST data

Hi @ethanclevenger91,
I found the error. I'll update the plugin.

Thanks

Hi @ethanclevenger91 & @Specik,

I fixed the erro, but you need to add this code below in your function.php.

Filter reference: {dir-acf-pro}/core/location.php:1186

add_filter( 'acf/location/rule_match/options_page', function( $visibility ) {
    if ( ! is_admin() ) {
        return true;
    }

    return $visibility;
} );

Thanks

@airesvsg The above code causes all fields to show when I'm using ACF fields outside of the admin, like the following scenario: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/create-a-front-end-form/
