Title: Single Meta Save: Fields missing Last modified: June 4, 2020 --- # Single Meta Save: Fields missing * Resolved [keksbln](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keksbln/) * (@keksbln) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-meta-save-fields-missing/) * Hi, * I tried out the feature “Single Meta Save” for a customer. * Latest versions von WP, ACF Pro and ACFE (and Timber). * First: It speeds up saving a page with a lot of ACF fields (in our case up to 1000) alot – most times. Sometimes saving the page is slow again. * Second: It is a bit annoying, that many fields are delivered in a different structure, so that I have to change the PHP and/or Twig code. The structure is better than with pure ACF, but it changes, when enabling this feature. Therefore I need both variants in my code and switches like “if (is_array($modules)) { … } else { …}”. * Third: After updating the code step by step, one of the last pages did not work. ACF/ACFE is not returning some subfields. 🙁 * Here is my debug output, where I can see several fields missing, sometimes partly: * Hmpf… No screenshot pasting possible here? 🙁 Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Thread Starter [keksbln](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keksbln/) * (@keksbln) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-meta-save-fields-missing/#post-12938445) * So here is my debug output: * `array ( 'acf_fc_layout' => 'abo_page', 'view' => 'landingpage', 'opener_image' => 18201078, 'teaser' => array ( 'left' => array ( ), 'center' => array ( 'bubble' => array ( 'text_large' => '10', 'text_small' => '5 für 10!', ), ), 'right' = > array ( ), 'special' => array ( 'bubble' => array ( ), ), ), 'links' => array( 0 => array ( 'name' => 'Studententarif', 'elements' => array ( 0 => array ( ' typ' => 'text', 'text' => 'Sie studieren? Dann nutzen Sie unseren', 'icon' => false, 'abo_slug' => '', 'zeitraum_slug' => '', ),` * … and so on. Fields are missing in “teaser.left”, “teaser.center”, “teaser.center. bubble” (1 of 3 is missing), “teaser.right”, “teaser.special” and “teaser.special. bubble”. * Thread Starter [keksbln](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keksbln/) * (@keksbln) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-meta-save-fields-missing/#post-12938545) * The debug output screenshot: [https://preview.unitb.com/ja/acfe_sms_bug_output.png](https://preview.unitb.com/ja/acfe_sms_bug_output.png) * These are the ACF fields / this is the input (part of): [https://preview.unitb.com/ja/acfe_sms_bug_input.png](https://preview.unitb.com/ja/acfe_sms_bug_input.png) * The checkbox field (with two possible values) is also missing (internal name “ enabled”). * The ACF structure is quite complex, because I implemented a module system using ACF flexible content (= “modules”) with several modules. This page has only one module configured (an “abo page” module). * Thread Starter [keksbln](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keksbln/) * (@keksbln) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-meta-save-fields-missing/#post-12938711) * Ahhh… when I rename the field “teaser” (e.g. to “teasers”) and fill out all subfields again, then it works. * When I do this, then the customer has to do this on production system after deployment. * So it’s not a problem with the field structure, but maybe with converting existing values!? About the two “bubble” fields, which are returned: I can not change the value. I can, I see the new value in the backend, but in the frontend I still get the old values. Weird. * Plugin Author [Konrad Chmielewski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hwk-fr/) * (@hwk-fr) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-meta-save-fields-missing/#post-12944634) * Hello, * Thanks for the feedback. The Single Meta Save works correctly on complex Flexible Content here, I also use it on many production websites. There’s probably something wrong in your configuration. * I cannot really help you with this flexible content, as it is far too much complex and I’m not in your head 🙂 In order to isolate the problem, you should create a new flexible content with more simple structure and try to trigger the bug, then export the field group so I can download & test it on my side. * Regards. * Plugin Author [Konrad Chmielewski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hwk-fr/) * (@hwk-fr) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-meta-save-fields-missing/#post-12944653) * BTW, you can join us on the ACF Slack community, using this invitation link: [https://join.slack.com/t/wpacf/shared_invite/enQtODc2MjczMzM3NzQ1LTQxNmY2ZGY3OTU2NDkxNTliYmNhMmY1NDMwZGM4NmYxNzgwZTI5MDUzMDFlMGQ5YzcwNDc0ZWM0MDVmODI4NmI](https://join.slack.com/t/wpacf/shared_invite/enQtODc2MjczMzM3NzQ1LTQxNmY2ZGY3OTU2NDkxNTliYmNhMmY1NDMwZGM4NmYxNzgwZTI5MDUzMDFlMGQ5YzcwNDc0ZWM0MDVmODI4NmI) * It will be easier to discuss and share screenshots there 😉 * Regards. * Plugin Author [Konrad Chmielewski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hwk-fr/) * (@hwk-fr) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-meta-save-fields-missing/#post-12950835) * Hello, * Just to let you know that the latest 0.8.6.3 Update include a rework of the Single Meta Save codebase. It may fix your issue, please update the plugin and let me know. * Regards. * Thread Starter [keksbln](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keksbln/) * (@keksbln) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-meta-save-fields-missing/#post-12960082) * I “solved” the problem by renaming the field, because the update to 0.8.6.1 did not help. So I cannot reproduce it anymore. And therefore I think, that creating“ a new flexible content with more simple structure” would not reproduce the problem. * Thanks for your feedback! * Plugin Author [Konrad Chmielewski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hwk-fr/) * (@hwk-fr) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-meta-save-fields-missing/#post-12960104) * Hello, * The last Update 0.8.6.3 introduced a new codebase for that module, which is now even more integrated in ACF logic. I also tested it on my complex flexible content page builders. There shouldn’t be any problem. * Anyways, I’m glad to hear that your issue is solved now. * Have a nice day! * Regards.
