Hello,
So to give you the info about my form.
• Using shortcode display method
• form has 5 post meta fields, all are ACF fields for my products CPT
• have had the form working for over a year now.
• have option to “hide empty”
One of the 5 post meta dropdown’s is called “Chemical Name” which is an ACF field on my Products CPT. It had been populating the dropdown options with all chemical names, as long as it was entered into at least one product. That is exactly what I needed it to do.
Recently, my client changed the name of chemical name. And to be more specific it’s almost the exact same name, but a space between 2 words was removed.
The old chemical name: Tert.Butylperoxy-2-ethyl hexanoate
The new chemical name: Tert.Butylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate
As you can see, it’s the exact same characters, just the one space was removed on all products that had this in the chemical name ACF field.
The issue is now when I go to my search form and click on chemical name dropdown, both show up. And if you click on the old name, it returns nothing. As mentioned before I have the hide empty option checked.
I had noticed once before that after deleting products some of the attributes still appeared in the form dropdowns, but all I had to do is rebuild the cache and it would disappear.
I’ve tried rebuilding the cache many times, but still both chemcial names continue to show up. There is not one product that has the old chemical name so technically it shouldn’t be showing up anymore.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
