Thanks for such a prompt response!

I think the deprecation from fn() to function() is a Twig thing and Timber followed suit with the most recent version. I could be wrong though for sure. Glad to hear you got it working!

Have you tried using {{ function('dynamic_sidebar', 'header-widget-1') }} instead?

I think you might be using an old method. Have you tried one of the three here? #3 might be what you need.

Per my other reply to your post thanks and this works! Marking as resolved. Cheers!

Thanks for taking the time to post a link to the fix. Worked a treat! I hope the time away is all good.

The patch worked a treat. Thanks d3v1an7!

I just noticed that as well. Woo hoo! Sounds like it was something wonky with ACF and not ACF: Font Awesome after all. Cheers all!

I had issues as well and had to roll back to ACF Pro 5.1.6. Stagger Lee, did you roll back and then do the edit_input.js line 93 temporary tweak or did you stay on ACF Pro 5.1.7?

I also had an issue where the Media Library display completely disappearing and here’s a screenshot of console errors if it’s at all helpful: https://cl.ly/image/2z023B0z3D3k. Couldn’t expand or collapse or move metaboxes or change post status or date either in posts.

Thanks fellas and great plugin mattkeys!

No worries of course! Good to hear you’re busy and thanks for the update! Cheers.

Great idea! Just got ACF5 rolling on a new project and looking forward to using it. Nice work mattkeys!

If it’s any help at all my client was ready to say screw this, we’re ready to start clean slate with BuddyPress. Not sure if that’s even a remote option in your situation. Or maybe it’s your own project. At any rate, best of luck and I’ll continue to keep an eye on this thread.

Out of curiosity, Rossen, did you have to clean up the jacked up JSON files that Ning kicks out with their archive app before having a successful import or were you able to roll with them untouched? If I remember correctly NONE of them validate and mine wouldn’t validate after even just the simple fixes.

Nope. These folks are completely separate from the plugin. Something to consider though is that you’ll have CSVs (human-readable of course) of your data as well which is way better than a bunch of malformed JSON files.

@westyalf, regarding your question above (“Does GROU.PS allow you FTP access or do they host the content like NING?”), GROU.PS is a hosted solution and not open source (just like Ning). The suggestion to migrate to GROU.PS though is for a number of reasons: 1) to get the hell away from Ning but still keep your threads. 2) Use it as a transitional solution until BP is all up and running. 3) And/or (and maybe most importantly) check out their backup/exports after migration and see what can be done with it—the files HAVE to better the crap Ning kicks out. And on that note I want to again suggestion getting all of your JSON files cleaned (affordably) by these peoples: https://json-csv.com/custom/migrate-ning-data-to-buddypress.aspx. Very nice to work with.

I’ve bailed on trying to do the migration due to the client wanting to start anew with BuddyPress. Here’s couple things that may be of interest to y’all:

Contact these folks to fix your malformed JSON files that Ning gives you AND convert them to CSV for posterity. I suggest they create and SEO this page:

https://json-csv.com/custom/migrate-ning-data-to-buddypress.aspx

They’re very helpful. You can try to convert your JSON file(s) in their free web app as well. Costs to convert are very reasonable. Anyway, friendly dudes.

The other thing I wanted to share is… after a bunch of research on my own the other alternative I came up with for my client was to migrate to GROU.PS. They seem to be the only ones that support a full Ning migration (not just members). They’re a paid hosted solution but they were very friendly to deal with at first blush and the entry tier pricing is around $6 USD per month. They will help you migrate during their free trial as well. In addition to all of this they of course have their own export/backup features as well which has GOT to kick out more useful files than our not-so-beloved Ning.

That’s all for now folks.

Thanks fellas! I look forward to seeing how it goes. Happy to test stuff on my end if it’s helpful.
