Featured images not working when both ACF and WP Page Widget

    Hello – This seems to be a known issue, threaded elsewhere in support, but I cannot find a remedy.

    My client’s site is using both Advanced Custom Fields ( https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/ ) and WP Page Widget. They rely on each other to show a custom form in a sidebar widget per page/post.

    With both plugins activated, When setting the featured image, the image does not appear in the featured image box.

    It does show the featured image in the media library if the “set featured image” is clicked again. It seems something from ACF is blocking the javascript from showing the featured image, I’m just not sure what.

    Thanks in advance for the solution.

  • Hi there.
    We can not reproduce the issue. Can you test on our system (with wordpress 4.5.2 and latest two plugin ACF Pro, WP Page Widget activated) and confirm the issue is still or gone?

    Hi,
    i can confirm i have the same issue with both plugin (page widget and acf pro turned on).

    To elaborate a little, when i try to write a new post, i can click the button “set feature image”, media-library or file upload panel is showing and the image can be flagged, but when i click the set featured image button again and return to the post editor, the selected image is not inserted).

    Analyzing the network requests in google chrome, it turns out that admin-ajax requests and responses are different with your plugin turned on/off:

    when ON: when in media-editor if i select an image and click set featured image button, this request is being made to admin-ajax : 

    {
json:true
post_id:0
thumbnail_id:141
_wpnonce: cbcbvcbcvb4564
action:set-post-thumbnail
}

    and admin-ajax.php returns -1

    so post_id passed is always set to 0, instead of the id assigned to post and the ajax message is failure instead of {success:true, etc: etc};

    Only in this phase the parameters are different (ie: when going from editor to the media screen post_id is correctly passed, and not 0; when submitting post_id become 0).

    I hadn’t the time to read your plugin’s code, but i suppose you can figure out more quickly than me!

    Have a nice day!

    Hi,
    i found out the problem (relative to my setup, at least).

    it turned out that the default editable widget area (the one that you find in appearance->widget) must NOT be empty ; i.e. you must set always a fallback default widget there; in this way the problem disappears, for me at least.

    ta-da!

    great plugin, btw!

    Hi razzetto
    Please try again with updated version and let me know if that works.
