[Resolved] ACFML2 Causing issues with some cloned fields

I appreciate the reply. and for finding a potential solution.

The trouble with this is that I have to go through ALL pages where there were button groups are used and recreate them. While I can potentially so a search/replace, it's tricky and kind of risky.

Can you confirm that your tier 2 team made the field name change on my server? I do not see the change there. the repeater is still called "button_group". I tried manually changing it on my end and doing a search/replace for "_button_group_" to "_button_group_repeater_". Not having luck. I am probably going to clone the live server and try again.

Can you help me understand why this is all of a sudden an issue and was not before?

thanks.

Hey Osama... I've reverted back to the previous backup a few times and tried to execute this with no luck.

Are you sure your direction is right. If I'm changing Content Type: Button Group — To Clone

that is different than 'Global Content Blocks" which is what your direction to change the meta keys to the proper value - e.g. from "content_blocks_8_button_group_0_custom_url" to "content_blocks_8_button_group_repeater_0_custom_url"

shouldn't I be changing from:
"content_blocks_1_column_1_content_types_0_button_group_0_button_text" to "content_blocks_1_column_1_content_types_0_button_group_repeater_0_button_text"

I've tried both and not having luck. I'm not 100% sure this direction is right. Can you please double check.

I also noted that on the KIDS page ( hidden link ) the "Featured Databases" Multicolumn flexible content field is also missing after any updates are made to the ACF fields.

With the solution you suggested above, why would the issue go away if I disable the ACFML plugin? It make me wonder if the solution is correct.

Thank you

Thank you Osama. I’ll will review shortly. Just getting online for the day. Making some coffee 🙂

I appreciate the additional help here. Did you see in one of my messages above that I am having the same issue on the /kids page with the multicolumn flexibile content block. Can you look into that as well.

Thank you.

Hey Osama, Thank you. Can I ask.... Are you doing this on my staging server or on your local server?

I went in opened and simply saved the "Global Content Blocks" page
hidden link

In doing so the button group on the homepage disappears as it did previously. I just want to confirm that you're maybe working locally.

Separately, I wonder how leaving the page open, changing a field name and saving the open page would work. Wouldn't the field name change on the page? Just trying to understand how that works.

thank you again!

Thanks Osama. Let me know if you'd like me to revert again as it may prove helpful to start from where the live site Is and find a solution that work. Appreciate you elevating this to Tier 2.
