 * I’m getting “Updating Failed” inside Element when I’m using shortcode.
 * This is code of my shortcode
 *     ```wp-block-code
       function shortcode_field_value( $atts ) {
         if ( ! is_admin() ) {
         $atts = shortcode_atts(
             array(
                 'field_name' => '',
                 'link' => false
             ), $atts, 'field_value'
         );
   
         $post_id = get_the_ID();
         if( ! $post_id ) {
             return '';
         }
   
         $cache_key = 'field_value_' . $post_id . '_' . $atts['field_name'];
         $value = wp_cache_get( $cache_key );
         if( false === $value ) {
             $value = get_field( $atts['field_name'], $post_id );
             if( is_array( $value ) ) {
                 $terms = array();
                 foreach( $value as $term ) {
                     $terms[] = $term->name;
                 }
                 $value = implode( ', ', $terms );
             } elseif( is_a( $value, 'WP_Term' ) ) {
                 $value = $value->name;
             }
             wp_cache_set( $cache_key, $value, '', 3600 );
         }
   
         if( $atts['link'] ) {
           $value = sprintf( '<a href="%s">%s</a>', get_term_link( $value ), $value );
         }
   
   
         return $value;
       }
       }
       add_shortcode( 'field_value', 'shortcode_field_value' );
       ```
   
 * Please help me find solution for this error.
