Post Meta Filter not working for ACF fields

Anonymous

#172184

Hi, I have several ACF custom fields that are set up on standard posts. When I try to use the S&F Post Meta filter to search on any of the fields, the dropdowns (or any input type) doesn’t have the values from the ACF fields in it. It just has one entry which is something like “field_5a98989a7639c”. I have the Get Options set to Automatically and the Is ACF Field box ticked. Is there something I’ve missed?

Here is link to the search page: http://52.64.62.215/~unboxed59023/artfeed/

Thanks very much.

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.
