Title: Toggle Layout Not Working? Last modified: August 29, 2024 --- # Toggle Layout Not Working? * Resolved [bravotangodev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bravotangodev/) * (@bravotangodev) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/toggle-layout-not-working/) * Latest everything; default theme. * When clicking the “toggle layout”, the layout will change to transparent. When saving the page, the status gets reverted, as if you didn’t click “toggle layout” at all.

[Here is the video of my test](https://www.acf-extended.com/share/8IdZc). * Can you try to setup a simple test like I did in my video, see if you get the same result? Here the my [Field Group Json Export](https://gist.github.com/acf-extended/44630ca33c692c44905910e190b00f65#file-acfe-flexible-content-toggle-test-json). You can save that json into a file, and import it from the “ACF > Tools” admin menu. * The Field Group is called “Flexible Content” and will be displayed on any Post Type: Page in your WP Admin. * If the issue is still there, then it probably means there is some custom code/ hook which break the feature, either in a plugin or in your theme. * In order to isolate the issue, I would recommend clone your website on a development/ staging environment using [Duplicator](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/), or with your hosting backup solution. Then try to disable all your plugins one- by-one (at the exception of ACF Pro & ACF Extended) until you find which one cause the issue. * If the problem persists, try switch to the native WP Twenty Twenty Two theme, to make sure you don’t have any custom code in your theme which would break the feature. * In all cases you should be able to confirm it works like I did, by setting up a clean WP install with ACF Pro + ACF Extended only. * You can read more about how to setup a favorable environment for [debugging WordPress & ACF in our guide here](https://www.acf-extended.com/guides/debugging-wordpress-acf). * Let me know if you found something! * Thanks! * Regards. * Thread Starter [bravotangodev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bravotangodev/) * (@bravotangodev) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/toggle-layout-not-working/#post-17986012) * I found the issue. It is because I am using Local JSON in ACF. I discovered this my clearing out the folder and it started to work. After regenerating them, I see that enabling the “Toggle Layout” in the “Additional Actions” does not trigger an update the acf-json. * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/kOnEi63) - This reply was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by [bravotangodev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bravotangodev/). * Thread Starter [bravotangodev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bravotangodev/) * (@bravotangodev) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/toggle-layout-not-working/#post-17986152) * A new finding as well is that not only does it not trigger an update, it’s specifically omitted from the acf-json, meaning, it will always be removed. There’s no way to use Local JSON and this setting within ACFE. - This reply was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by [bravotangodev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bravotangodev/). * Plugin Author [Konrad Chmielewski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hwk-fr/) * (@hwk-fr) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/toggle-layout-not-working/#post-17987935) * Hello, * Thanks for the details! * The “Toggle Layout” is a feature added by ACF Extended, and it should update the local JSON when enabled or disabled from the ACF UI. I just ran some tests, and it works in my end. [Here is the video of my test](https://www.acf-extended.com/share/Og2We). * Can you try to create a new “Test Field Group” with a “Test Flexible Content”, enable the Json Sync, and try to enable/disable the setting, see if it updates the Json file like I did in my test video? You should get the same result. * Please note this setting should not add the sub field `acfe_flexible_toggle` in your layouts, as you shared in your screenshot, on the right side here: [https://imgur.com/kOnEi63](https://imgur.com/kOnEi63) * If you see these sub fields in your ACF UI, you should remove them. Do you have any idea how these were generated? * Note that the Force Sync feature (which is a PRO feature, [see documentation](https://www.acf-extended.com/features/field-groups/force-sync)) had a bug which generated these sub fields. This was fixed in 0.9.0.6 ([see changelog](https://www.acf-extended.com/changelog/0-9-0-6)). If you’re using ACF Extended Pro and the Force Sync feature, please open a ticket from your [Account Dashboard](https://www.acf-extended.com/account), so we can check it out (I cannot provide support for Pro features here). * Let me know if you found something. * Thanks! * Regards. * Thread Starter [bravotangodev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bravotangodev/) * (@bravotangodev) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/toggle-layout-not-working/#post-17992503) * The `acfe_flexible_toggle` sub field was added automatically is my best guess– it wasn’t done manually if that is what you are implying. I am not using ACFE Pro. Maybe this was a leftover from a previous version? Not sure. * I think this was just a red herring though, I can see, when using a new layout, it is adding/removing the `"toggle"` as to `acfe_flexible_add_actions` as expected; however, the toggle is still not working. Disabling acf-json is still causing it to work normally. Example: [https://dev.bravotango.ca/tests/acfe/toggle.mp4](https://dev.bravotango.ca/tests/acfe/toggle.mp4) I tested this previously with the default theme and no other plugins. The default theme worked until I started using Local JSON. * Plugin Author [Konrad Chmielewski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hwk-fr/) * (@hwk-fr) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/toggle-layout-not-working/#post-17992630) * Hello, * Thanks for the details, and the video demo. * I tested the simple scenario in your video on a blank WP install, and I cannot reproduce the issue. [Here is the video of my test](https://www.acf-extended.com/share/kKxeg). * Are you sure that you correctly tested it with all plugins disabled (including must-use plugins), and with the native Twenty Twenty Four theme only? * If the issue persists, can you try to setup a clean WP install, and reproduce this simple scenario? It should work as in my test video. * Here are the specs of my test WP install: - WP 6.6.1 - ACF Pro 6.3.6 - ACF Extended 0.9.0.7 - Theme: Twenty Twenty Four * Thanks! * Regards. * Plugin Author [Konrad Chmielewski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hwk-fr/) * (@hwk-fr) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/toggle-layout-not-working/#post-18003310) * Hello, * Any news about this issue?
