 * I did some updates recently and noticed that my ACF image gallery would not work.
   I couldn’t drag/drop or add images to the gallery. The one error in the console
   seems to related to ‘select 2’: [https://share.getcloudapp.com/nOuKd70w](https://share.getcloudapp.com/nOuKd70w).
 * I started disabling plugins and realized that after this one was disabled it 
   allowed for the function of the gallery field again. I have WordPress 6.1 with
   ACF v. 6.07. Now there could be another conflict but I have too many other plugins
   to try to figure it out at the moment. All I know is that it appears to be this
   plugin (which makes sense) that is causing an issue with ACF.
 * Can you please look into this?

 * This bug has come up a couple times before. One example here:
 * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conflict-between-wp-media-folder-and-your-plugin-with-select2/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conflict-between-wp-media-folder-and-your-plugin-with-select2/)
 * In that case it was the “WP Media Folder” plugin causing the issue.
 * This plugin uses a feature of Select2 (which ships with ACF). But if another 
   plugin is also using Select2, and they are using an older or incomplete version
   of Select2, it can cause a conflict.
 * Searching your plugins directory for “Select2” would turn up any other plugins
   besides mine and the core ACF plugin that are using Select2, and we can investigate
   further from there if you can share those plugin names.

 * Thanks. That’s a good idea to search the plugins directory for select2 and probably
   less complicated than the turn plugins/on off method lol. I’ll give that a go.
