Hello,
Thanks for the feedback!
What you experience is not the normal behavior. I would suspect some conflict with a custom code/hook in your theme or third party plugin. Looking at your UI screenshot, it seems like there something weird going on in a Sub Field of your Header JS / jQuery
repeater.
Note that you can see the faulty JS code by clicking on the link in the console error '[' (at post.php?post=23196&action=edit:4400:21)
.
Regarding the admin-ajax
request sending 403 (Forbidden)
, this isn’t normal either. I don’t know if it is related to the JS error above, but it suggests you have some PHP errors breaking the Ajax request. I would recommend to enable the WP_DEBUG
& WP_DEBUG_LOG
constants in your wp-config.php
file to check your PHP errors.
You can read more about how to setup a favorable environment for debugging WordPress & ACF in our guide here.
In order to quickly isolate the issue, I would recommend clone your website on a development / staging environment using Duplicator, or your hosting backup solution. Then try to disable all your plugins one-by-one (at the exception of ACF Pro & ACF Extended) until you find which one cause the issue.
If the problem persists, try switch to the native WP Twenty Twenty Two theme, to make sure you don’t have any custom code in your theme which would break the feature.
Let me know if you found something!
Regards.
