PHP Fatal error

Resolved

(@excentricjester)

I tried updating the plugin to version 0.8.8.3 and got a fatal error.

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function acfe_update_setting() in /wp-content/themes/generatepress-child/inc/advanced-custom-fields-extended.php:26
Stack trace:
#0 /wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(292): my_acfe_modules(5)

Line 26 here is disabling the forms module as per the example in the plugin FAQ.

add_action('acf/init', 'my_acfe_modules');
function my_acfe_modules(){

    // Disable Ajax Author box
    // acfe_update_setting('modules/author', false);

    // Disable ACF > Block Types
    // acfe_update_setting('modules/dynamic_block_types', false);

    // Disable Forms
    acfe_update_setting('modules/dynamic_forms', false);

    // Disable Tools > Post Types
    // acfe_update_setting('modules/dynamic_post_types', false);

    // Disable Tools > Taxonomies
    // acfe_update_setting('modules/dynamic_taxonomies', false);

    // Disable ACF > Options Pages
    // acfe_update_setting('modules/dynamic_options_pages', false);

    // Disable Settings > Options
    // acfe_update_setting('modules/options', false);

    // Disable Enhanced UI (Taxonomies, Users, Settings)
    acfe_update_setting('modules/ui', false);

    // Disable Multilingual Compatibility
    // acfe_update_setting('modules/multilang', false);

}

I had to comment out the action to restore the site.

Using WordPress 5.7.1 and Advanced Custom Fields PRO 5.9.5.

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback! It looks like your WordPress install had some problems during the files upgrade and had to disable the ACF Extended plugin, which produced this error since acfe_update_setting() is an ACF Extended function.

To avoid this kind of problem, I would recommend to use the acfe/init hook instead of acf/init when calling acfe_update_setting(). This way, the function only get called when ACF Extended is enabled. Usage example:
```
add_action('acfe/init', 'my_acfe_modules');
function my_acfe_modules(){

    acfe_update_setting('modules/dynamic_forms', false);

}
```
Note: The acfe/init hook usage to disable ACF Extended modules is documented and updated on the website, but not here on the plugin readme FAQ, as you reported. I’ll update it, thanks!

Hope it helps.

Have a nice day!

Regards.
