ACF plugin critical error
Hello!
I'm trying to install fuxt with fuxt-backend. I'm blocked at the plugin installation step by ACF. When using the auto-install, ACF pro can't be installed and throws this error:
Something went wrong with the plugin API.
I guess it's because I don't have a pro licence.
However, when I install the standard ACF plugin (non pro), either manually or through the plugin page, everything breaks instantly:
There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.
Is there a specific step I'm missing? Thanks!
Ok that’s weird. You could try uncommenting the ACF include from the functions.php as a temp work around until I get a chance to look into this.
@narduin did you ever get this working? We've been using this on tens of sites... we have to manually install the ACF Pro plugin though obviously as it's behind a pay wall.
Hi! I had not tried again since last time. I just did and unfortunately I encountered the same errors as last time on a fresh wordpress install.
When you say "manually install the ACF Pro plugin", do you mean uploading manually from wordpress admin or directly through ftp?
I mean, the auto plugin install won’t work with ACF Pro as you need a license for it. So you have to install that any other way (upload or use FTP).
I actually have never tried to use this theme without ACF pro… so I can try that out and see if I get the same error.
@drewbaker If site has ACF free version (not Pro version), it generates a fatal error because acf_add_options_page function isn't available in free version. I updated code in this PR to overcome the case.
