ACF Field Filter not displaying choices

Hi

I’ve enabled S&F Pro on https://qep.vatestserver.com/groups/ which is mostly working as we would like.

The main issue I’ve experienced is the Location and Tags filters single display the ACF Group ID instead of list the choices within the field, e.g. the Location ACF Group contains the choices:

eastern : Eastern
east-midlands : East Midlands
london : London
north-east : North East
north-west : North West
scotland : Scotland
south-east : South East
south-west : South West
wales : Wales
west-midlands : West Midlands
yorkshire-humber : Yorkshire & The Humber
outside-uk : Outside of the UK

On the ‘Post Meta: _loaction’ for the ‘Search Form UI’ settings I’ve selected the ‘Is ACF Field?’ checkbox. Also the ‘Get Options’ is set to ‘Automatically’.

I would be grateful if you could please advise me on when else I need to do for the choices to correctly appear for both Location and Tags ACF fields when output in my S&F Pro search please.

Kind regards
Luek

The big ‘gotcha’ with ACF ….

With ACF, note that it makes 3 meta keys per field, like this:

#1 _location
#2 field_5a16902ae5c07
#3 location

You need to use key #3, without the underscore at the start of the key name.
