[Plugin: Advanced Custom Fields] Empty Media Library?

    When I attempt to add an image to an image field, the ‘upload from your computer’ interface works fine, but the Media Library tab is empty. The total number of images is shown next to All Types | Images ##, but none of the actual images are displayed. Searching, filtering results, or sorting by date makes no difference.

    Does anyone else experience this issue? Any known fixes?

  • I am also having this issue.

    I believe it is coming from the link to the media library tab having the type=image in it. It generates a tax_query in the WP_Query which ends up putting a 0 = 1 into the SQL query.

    I’m on WP 3.4.1 and ACF 3.3.9

    Hey guys,

    Very strange. Out of curiosity, can you click on the default WYSIWYG editor upload media icon? Have a look in the url for the iframe. Does this iframe have the type=image?

    Cheers

    Yes, it does.

    That then suggests that it is not the “type=image” param that is causing the issue.

    This is unexpected behavior for ACF and I would first guess that there is a plugin / theme conflict that is causing the error.

    Have you tried deactivating all plugins / switching themes to see if that works?

    Then you can go through and activate them 1 by 1 until you find the culprit.

    Good luck!

    I just deactivated all plugins on the site and then activated ACF. The URL is:

    /wp-admin/media-upload.php?post_id=1698&type=image&acf_type=image&acf_preview_size=thumbnail&tab=library

    type=image is still in there.

    Hi scottconnerly,

    I don’t know why you believe that having “type=image” is an issue. Even without ACF activated, all the media popup urls have “type=image” in it.

    You said it created a tax query. Do you have a taxonomy called type?

    Yep.
    You nailed it.
    Thank you, Elliot.

    Happy to help.

    For anyone else reading this. WP will have query issues if you have a taxonomy called “type”. Please rename it to something more unique.

    Cheers

    Thanks Elliot, I also had a taxonomy named ‘type’.

    I have taxonomy’s as well and it is causing this issue. None called type tho
