    Hi,

    the meta box does not show. I can temporarily enable it but the input field is missing.

    When I reload the page, I can see the “Custom Permalinks” metabox appear briefly (without the input field) then the whole metabox disappears again.

    anybody had a similar problem and know a fix please?

    thanks

    Disable Gutenberg 2.2
    ACF Pro 5.9.0
    ACF Extended 0.8.7.2

    appears to be a conflict with disabling Gutenberg

    eg with these (or via code below)
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-gutenberg/
    https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/

    add_filter("use_block_editor_for_post_type", "disable_gutenberg_editor");
function disable_gutenberg_editor() { return false; }

    if i use any of these methods, it breaks

    So i’m guessing it’s a problem with the Custom Permalinks plugin maybe expecting Gutenberg to be present?

    thanks

    Hi @codemonkeynorth

    Thank you for reaching out to me. You are not seeing the field in the meta box because when the Gutenberg is disabled Custom Permalinks overrides the default WordPress Permalink field which shows right below the post title but in your case I am not seeing that field.

    Please check your browser console or share your browser console screenshot to verify there is no JS issue. Also, disable the Custom Permalinks plugin and check whether you are seeing the default WordPress Permalink field or not.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Sami

    Hi @sasiddiqui,

    this was a configuration issue with ACF Pro. Some of the Custom Fields had “Hide on screen” items set that seemed to be maybe hiding the Permalink/Slug and therefore breaking the Custom Permalinks Meta Box

    (although there does appear to be a slight rendering issue with the Custom Permalink metabox once fixed still)

    I’m not sure the specific cause exactly but I’ve detailed the setup here:
