Missing custom ACF field

    Hello,

    I have an issue with posts on my website, I have different ACF custom fields like : short description, guest, link, etc.

    The guest are showed on the original post but not on the broadcasted one, it’s the only missing field.

    I never use broadcast or ACF before, my boss give me the project yesterday. I tried to use “debugging” and maybe I find why there’s an issue.

    I have this –>
    array (
    ‘field_6155633e23fd8’ =>
    array (
    0 => ‘3452’,
    1 => ‘2620’,
    2 => ‘270’,
    3 => ‘332’,

    And this –>

    `’invites’ =>
    array (
    0 => ‘a:4:{i:0;s:4:”3452″;i:1;s:4:”2620″;i:2;s:3:”270″;i:3;s:3:”332″;}’,
    ),
    ‘_invites’ =>
    array (
    0 => ‘field_6155633e23fd8’,
    ),`

    I was thinking this : every guest has his own ID like “270” and it’s this ID which is broadcasted to the other website. What if “Michael – ID 270” is “Michael – ID 913” on the other website ? Could it be the reason why Michael doesn’t show on the children post ?

    Sorry english isn’t my native language, I hope you can understand me.

    Thank you !

    If those fields are normal ACF fields, then you’ll be needing the Broadcast ACF add-on to automatically translate the IDs of images and posts in ACF fields.

    Thank you for your answer !

    So is it why I have an issue, the ID ? If I use this addon, my guests will have the same ID on the parent and children ?

    The issue is that the IDs, that refer to posts and images, will never be the same on two blogs in the network.

    As soon as a new post is created, or a revision or an autosave, the IDs will lose sync between the blogs.

    The add-on will automatically find the equivalent ID on the child blog and, if the image or post does not exist, it is created and the new ID is assigned in the fields in the child post.

    Yeah just as I thought…

    But there is a plot twist : the guests (missing field) was showed on the post created in 2021 but not anymore, if I make an update on a 2021 post, they disappear too.

    Why this is happening now but not before ?

    Were the sites cloned at one time and therefore have the same IDs to a point? And now switching to a newer image breaks because the IDs are no longer in sync?

    Without a debug text, that’s my best guess.

    By debug text you mean :
    – create a post
    – broadcast it on an other blog
    – publish it ?

    I have one !

    I really don’t know what happened before, it’s a team in Madagascar who made this website and they don’t answer (I’m in France). It’s a bit, just a little little little bit complicated 🙁

    I need more information. Could you:

    if enabled, disable the Broadcast queue add-on
    enable Broadcast debug mode: Admin > Broadcast > Settings tab > Debugging subtab
    Enable debug + debug to browser and / or file
    broadcast the post to one blog
    send me the debug text to read through

    This will tell me what Broadcast is doing.

    Send the debug text to [email protected] and I’ll try to find the problem.
