Hi Ross,

it seems for me the result is not quite there yet:

I have checked “hide empty” but the hiding seems to only hide the text/value but still create the option tag within the select field. It’s probably easy to fix!?

Warm regards,
Sebastian

Yup sent a zip file…

Can resend if required, pls leave an alternative email address…

Sebastian, that is quite odd! I think whats happening is there is some values saved on certain posts for that field, but they are no longer in use (I see this kind of problem when I change the type of field within ACF and it finding the redundant old values)…

Try to rebuild the cache in S&F and see if that gets rid of the old options?

Thanks

Hi Ross,

thanks for the hint.
I would appreciate if you could be a bit more specific. 😉

I have no idea how to rebuild the cache in S&F!

I have saved the options and settings for S&F again, hoping it will automatically clear the cache. However, I have no idea if it does.

And as for the extra fields in my form, the empty option tags, I believe those are all the countries that do not bring any result. So in my opinion it could be that the hiding of empty fields does not work properly.
