Using &force worked!

Thanks that saves me a bunch of time, appreciated.

For now I will abandon using the WP REST API / ACF REST API and move over to using WP All Import and bring the data in as a CSV.

This does seem to be an issue that multiple people are reporting… Perhaps working with the authour of the ACF to REST API plugin you guys could nail down what is going on.

PUT requests seem significant enough to being flagged as a legit issue.

Thanks for your consideration.

@shambix excellent! I’ll report back any issues I’m seeing.

I am only able to get my layout changes when manually over riding the pdf_layout.php by deactivating and reactivating the plugin.

Not sure if that is WordPress thing or a Simple PDF Exporter issue. I can work with it if that’s all I have to do.

Good work again!

In my experience the WP REST API does support PUT requests.

I have been using the officially supported Node-WPAPI library without issue, which uses PUT requests to update WP data.

However, Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) REST API plugin in the authors own words “uses the interface of WordPress classes” – which appear to fail on PUTs.

Are there any known libraries successfully using the REST API interface classes which are PUTing? That would help determine if this is an issue with interface classes.

Thanks for the assistance, this seems like an important issue to continue to push the WP REST API ecosystem forward IF it is an issue.

Does your apache server allow Authentication headers to be sent?

Does your request work in Postman?
