I am trying to: I have some fields for the footer in an ACF Options page and when I switch to the second language (Spanish) I get a fatal error.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:

Worpress Dashboard > Theme Settings > ES

hidden link

I expected to see:
The fields for the footer populated with the Spanish content

Instead, I got: I fatal error

I have tried deactivating the ACF fields but the problem seems to be with the options page itself. The page is just the boiler plate code from their documentation.

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue.

Please try the following steps after a full site backup{mandatory} and make sure you are getting the expected results or not.

1) Upgrade to the latest version of ACF - hidden link
2) Increase *WP Memory Limit* to *256* MB(the minimum required memory limit for WPML is *128*). Please check the following links for more details

Hi Bigul,

I updated the plugin and had my host support do the other 2 items and the problem is still occurring.

What's next?

Hello,

Thank you for the login details. This may be related to the following issue. But is resolved already.

https://wpml.org/errata/advanced-custom-fields-and-php-8-0-offset-warning-and-error-on-acf-options-page-when-there-is-only-one-language/

So please allow me to make a duplicator copy of your site using the Duplicator plugin(https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/) for debugging the issue on my local server. It will help us to troubleshoot the bug without affecting your live site.

Hi Taryn,

This bug is happening because of a conflict with flexible fields. We are getting the expected results after the following steps. So please try it after a full site backup{mandatory} and let us know your feedback.

1) Log in to the database using a tool like PHPMyAdmin
2) Locate the wp_options table(may the table prefix will be different in your case)
3) Find the option options_es_resources
4) Delete it

Please consider it as a workaround for the time being. Our developers are still working on it.
