Background of the issue:
I am using the ACF Pro plugin along with 'Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual' and 'Advanced Custom Fields PRO'. When I have a link field in the backend and the value of the link field is blank, the database entry shows as 'a:1:{i:0;s:0:"";}' which means 0 as a key in the array is saved in the database.

Symptoms:
On the frontend, I am getting this field as non-empty even though it should be empty.

Questions:
Why is the link field appearing as non-empty on the frontend when it should be empty?
How can I resolve the issue with the database entry for the link field?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

First of all, sorry for the late reply; it was due to a higher workload.

1) Please log in to this hidden link">sandbox site and import your field group. After that, please try to replicate the issue. If it is replicable, please let me know how to reproduce it so I can check it and consult our second-tier support team if needed.

Kindly note that the sandbox site has WPML and ACF installed.

2) It's not related to the issue, but according to your Debug.info, the WP memory limit needs to be increased. PHP memory is fine, but WordPress uses 40Mb as default. The minimum requirements for WPML are 128 MB. (Kindly check this page https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/)

You can increase it by adding the following code in your wp-config.php file right before the /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */ line:

/* Memory Limit */
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Best regards,
Osama
