Research doesn't work with ACF Pro custom fields

With ACF, you have to make sure you choose the correct meta key name. ACF has 3 key names per field. One will be the name you used, WITHOUT a preceding underscore. There will be a false one WITH a preceding underscore, and another one like field_591014c8b649b which will also be the only value in the false meta key.

Thanks for the quick answer,
I agree, I actually tried with the 3 different.
The “field_xxxxxxxxx” seems to be working, as it get the values taken in the different posts.
But do you have any idea why my results are always empty ?

That should not work. Use the meta key name I suggested.

Check the Post Meta settings tab, and on that, make sure there are no conditions with an empty last box.

It doesn’t work. And there is no condition in the Post Meta seeting tab.
The search always return empty results.

I think there’s an issue with the Divi theme.
I tried exactly the same things with another theme, and everything works…
Do you have any idea of what could be the issue ?

Hi there, I still can’t figure out why I can’t make the plugin works.
Could you help me ?
If you need an access to the back-office I can do it.
Thanks !

Did you follow the special notes I made about Divi in this forum?

Ok, I tried exactly as you said, still not working.
So I made a new form with only 1 field to test it.

And I can’t understand why the search form doesn’t show the different values I entered in ACF.

I have to solve this first before setting up the search…
