<?php
if ( is_plugin_active('codepress-admin-columns/codepress-admin-columns.php') )  {
function remove_cpac_floatthead() {
    wp_dequeue_script( 'jquery-floatthead' );
    wp_deregister_script( 'jquery-floatthead' );
        }
add_action( 'admin_print_scripts', 'remove_cpac_floatthead', 100 );
}
}

On a side note float the head does not work with wordpress tables. I posted a ticket about it a few weeks ago. Ironically I was in the process of building an extension that sticks the admin table headers using it but it breaks wordpress. Not sure if that’s what codepress was using it for, but just a warning if it was…

Started working on a fix myself, but just started learning ACF so this could take a while…

The main file was easy to upgrade:

<?php
/*

class acf_field_code_area_plugin {

	function __construct() {
		// version 5
		add_action('acf/include_field_types', array($this, 'include_field_types'));

		// version 4
		add_action('acf/register_fields', array($this, 'register_fields'));

	}

	// version 4
    function register_fields() {
		include_once('acf_code_area-v4.php');
	}

	// version 5
	function include_field_types( $version ) {
		include_once('acf_code_area-v5.php');
	}

}

new acf_field_code_area_plugin();

?>

Second I created a new file in the main plugin directory named acf_code_area-v5.php. I then copied over code from v4 file.

After reading over the V5 changes (very end of the page), I saw that acf/create_field needs o be changed to acf/render_field.

Also, here is the template for how a field class is suppose to be created in V5.

This plugin author followed the v4 format exactly how it was suppose to be done, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out how to transfer the code over. I’ll do my best, but if anyone else who has worked with ACF before they will probably be able to figure it out a lot faster.

Also getting error. Its a 502 bad gateway and breaks the site.
