    Hi there,

    There seems to be an issue which we cannot solve, could you kindly help us. It seems to be related to ACF Extended, because if the plugin is deactivated the problem is solved.

    The issue: cannot use searchbar in admin pages page:
    The first hit gives this (no results)
    /wp-admin/edit.php?s=test&post_status=all&post_type=page&action=-1&m=0&lang=nl&seo_filter&readability_filter&paged=1&action2=-1
    The first hit gives this (with results)
    /wp-admin/edit.php?s=test&post_status=all&post_type=page&m=0&lang=nl&seo_filter&readability_filter&paged=1

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Humm it’s strange, ACF Extended doesn’t really touch the search function. It looks like you’re using a multilingual plugin, can you please give me the plugin name and version? I will try to replicate the issue.

    In the meantime you can try to disable the ACF Extended Multilingual module using the following code, it might fix the issue in your case (See documentation):

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

    // Disable Multilingual
    acf_update_setting('acfe/modules/multilang', false);
    
}

    In order to know which plugin is causing the issue, you can try to disable your plugins one by one (at the exception of ACF Pro + ACF Extended), until it works again.

    Thanks!

    Regards.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the feedback. We found it strange also. But we have disabled all plugins one by one. For some reason ACF Extended seems to be the culprit.

    We had the same issue with an installation without WPML.

    We could give you access to the dev environment if you want to poke around?

    Thanks!

    Best regards

    Hello,

    I tried the URLs you provided on a blank WP install with ACF Pro + ACF Extended only, and it works fine. Here is a video of my test.

    If the problem persists on your side, even after disabling all plugins, then it probably come from a custom code somewhere in your theme.

    Can you try to switch to the native WP Twenty Twenty One theme and test again?

    Regards.
