ACF Extended hide new category/tag buttons

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback!

The Enhanced UI module improves a lot of admin screens, including the Admin Terms screen. To do so, it moves some elements around, including the “Add New Category” button.

If the button is missing, it’s most likely because of a third party plugin also edit/move elements on this screen. I would recommend to try to disable your plugins one by one at the exception of ACF/ACF Extended, until you find which one is causing the issue. If you could tell me the plugin and its version, I could check it and add a fix in the next patch.

If you want to disable this module, you can simply use the following code. This will leave the Admin Screens as in native WordPress.

add_action('acf/init', 'my_acfe_modules');
function my_acfe_modules(){

    // Disable Enhanced UI
    acf_update_setting('acfe/modules/ui', false);
    
}

Hope it helps!

Have a nice day!

Regards.

Hello Konrad,

Thanks for your fast reply.

This is some test i have done:
– With only ACF extended 0.8.8.10 active and php 8.1: no add a category button.
– With only ACF extended 0.8.8.10 active and php 7.4: no problem.
– With only ACF extended 0.8.8.9 active and php 8.1: no problem.

I think the bug come with v0.8.8.10 on php 8.

Thanks you,
Have a nice day.

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback!

The Enhanced UI “Add Category/Tag” uses Javascript to move elements around, so the PHP version has no incidence on it.

Here is a video testing Categories/Tags with PHP 7.4, 8.0.1 and 8.1. (switching version takes some seconds in the video).

Maybe using a different PHP version has an impact on a third party plugin which has an incompatibility issue with the module?

Can you please try the steps I described in my previous answer?
