Conflict with Advanced Custom Fields

Elliot from the ACF support staff found the conflict with the plugin “External Media”:

“I’ve just done some testing, and although I don’t understand the issue, I have tracked down the source of the problem.
For some reason, the issue is triggered when the ‘External Media’ plugin enqueues the ‘media-views’ JS script via dependency on line 128 of the file ‘classes/WP_ExternalMedia.php’

My first thought is that by enqueuing this script as a dependency, it is loading it in at an earlier time (or a different time) that what WP is expecting and some JS is running out of order.”

Thanks for the responses!

The new version does not fix the issue.

Also I can no longer deactivate your plugin in order to work around the problem.

I am using Advanced Custom Fields to create additional buttons and fields, such as loading the media gallery for an image. When I click on that button, jquery misfires as stated in the above post. The conflict is only found when it’s an additional field on the page and not the “add media” button. Otherwise your plugin works perfectly fine.

I’d be more than happy to help you troubleshoot. Let me know what else you need from me.
