Advanced custom fields won't change on page update

I’ve just run into an issue that has randomly started occurring: When trying to replace images in advanced custom fields then hitting the “update” button, the success message appears to say the page update has been successful, but the custom fields have reverted back to what they were before.

I’ve tried restarting the local machine, restarting the site, turning faster docking volumes on and off, and turning dev mode on and off.

Hi Mike,

Just a few questions here:

  1. Have you done any digging in the database to see if it has saved your custom fields?
  2. Have you tried loading the page in a different browser?
  3. Are you using the preferred environment with Varnish Caching?
  4. Have you checked to see if ACF supports the version of PHP you may be using?

Thanks,

Phill

  1. No. I’m not really sure what I’m looking for to be totally honest!
  2. Edge won’t open the site at all, the same issue occurs in IE
  3. Yes, I;m using the preferred environment. Haven’t changed any settings on it.
  4. There may be an issue with PHP versions greater than 7.0.7. Can I simply change the PHP version without issue?

It’s okay, I figured out the issue. I’d accidentally named two custom fields on the page the same! D’oh!

Ahhh excellent! Thanks for your answers too :slight_smile:
