Rows not collapsing, just fading out

    I have one site when the collapse all rows button is not working properly. On click of “collapse” button all the collapse icons change properly but the fields do not collapse. The fields just get the overlay shading but are not collapsed. There are no js errors in my console though.

    Unfortunately I can’t seem to figure out why this is happening on one site but not on my test site that I just spent some time trying to get recreate it. I thought maybe it was the oEmbed fields or the Wysiwyg fields I had, but that doesn’t seem to be it.

    Let me know if I can provide you details or maybe a quick screencast of my setup so you can see what’s happening.

    Sorry to hear about the problems. A few quick questions:

    1. What verions of WP and ACF are you using?
    2. What’s the context of the rows that aren’t collapsing? (i.e. Are they nested? If so, how? What layout do they use? If nested, what layout do the parent fields use?)
    3. A screenshot or screencast would be nice. If that’s not enough, I might ask for a field export but I’ll hold off on that.

    Thanks for looking at this! Video link below, answers first:

    1) WP 4.0 + ACF 5.0.8
    2) Rows are not nested, basically just one field per flexible content item
    3) Screencast here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7862046ds15rarc/Collapse%20Issues.mp4?dl=0

    Thanks for the details. They explain what’s going on:

    just one field per flexible content item

    From the FAQ:

    Why don’t rows collapse? / Why is the row only grayed out?
    To help identify each repeater field group when collapsed, the first field of each repeated field group is shown. See the screenshots for an example.

    When possible, use a short field (like a text field or dropdown) as the first row in a repeatable fieldset.

    So this is “known issue” but also the currently intended behavior. I haven’t been able to come up with an elegant solution that leaves each field/row instance identifiable when collapsed that doesn’t require tons of exception handling for various field types.

    Feel free to file an GitHub issue enhancement request if you want. I’d like to figure out a better way around this but haven’t thought one up yet.

    I believe that without the plugin installed, you can fully collapse flexible fields by clicking the field heading. You might also try one of these other plugins if you need an immediate solution (I haven’t used either).

    Oh snap! Sorry about that, totally should know better than to not start with the FAQ. Thanks again for the responses on this issue. I will add this request in GitHub for sure.
