Teething problems with v1.3.0 on s.b/cwiccer

[bobbingwide]

The "other" field groups are those with Sync available. There are twelve of them.
Checkbox select, Choice and Clone Me show as being associated with Location Posts. The others are marked as Various

Updating to ACF Pro v6.2.7 didn't resolve the issue.
Nor did updating to WordPres 6.5-RC2

The field problem could be that there's a field group called labelled_acf_field which contains a field Named display_label with Key field_65c0af48ebef0 and label Display label.
This is used in preference to the display-label field which is defined using the code.
It's a problem even when the field group is marked as Inactive.

I'll try deleting this Field group.

That worked.

With the label displayed:

Without the label:

After Syncing the Advanced field group and toggling the value of Settings > Group Settings > Show in REST API the Location has changed to Posts. Toggling off the Show in REST API field doesn't stop the Meta box from being displayed.

I haven't yet worked out what causes the Location to display as Various.
Marking the field group as Deactivated only works for Field groups that have been Synced.

I raised a ticket with WP Engine.

OK, looking at the Field group .json files I've got a fairly good idea why some Groups are marked Post and others Various.

Field group	Group last 3 digits	Location	Post type(s)
Advanced	969	Posts	now contains post only
Basic	b84	Various	test-acf-fields
Content	558	Various	block_example, test-acf-fields
Checkbox select	e11	Posts	post
Choice	183	Posts	block_example, post

The group is shown as Various when the location only contains unknown post types.
ie when none of the post types are registered.

"location": [
        [
            {
                "param": "post_type",
                "operator": "==",
                "value": "test-acf-fields"
            }
        ]
    ],

Obviously, since none of the post types are registered, the meta boxes aren't displayed.

There's another problem with the field labelled Cycle Transition Effect, name fx, key field_645e28e9f47da

• This appeared to be associated with the Repeater field group for post type Block examples.
• I imported Repeater and deactivated it
• Next time I looked the field became associated with the Relational field group.
• Ditto for Relational
• Then it was associated with Layout.

I don't know how this happens. There's something going haywire that's for sure.

I don't know how this happens. There's something going haywire that's for sure.

In field_block_for_acf_pro_get_possible_field_names() the call to find the fields associated with each field group

$raw_fields=acf_get_fields( $field_group['ID'] );

was passing the ID of the field group.
In some instances the ID of the field group was 0.
The function was erroneously returning the fx field labelled Cycle Transition Effect.

I couldn't reproduce the problem just now.
It would seem that having imported all the unsynched Field groups the IDs are all set.

I was able to reproduce the problem by deleting a row for post type acf-field-group from the wp_posts table.
This then caused the Field group to require Syncing again.
Since there was no post for the Field group the ID was 0

The logic failed when processing the acf/prepare_field/name=acf-field-name filter, within
the_content,acf/prepare_field

It worked fine when called for acf/include_fields within init.

The fx field labelled "Cycle Transition Effect" is created by the oik-testimonials plugin for the oik-testimonials/acf-cycler block.

The fix is to pass the $field_group structure to the call, not just the ID.

$raw_fields=acf_get_fields( $field_group );
