Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function acf_form_head()

What issue or error are you experiencing?

Hi everybody! I’m a newbee with localwp and wordpress. I was trying to run a wordpress site with local and I should start from cPanel backup. I followed several similar import procedure but I always fall in the same error: “Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function acf_form_head()”, so I cannot interact with the site on local. On the website everything is working fine.
Any help would be really appreciated!


What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hi @mchiesi79

So this is a site you imported but you’re unable to access? Or the site isn’t getting past the import stage?

Could you send a screenshot of what you see?

Hi Nick-B. Thank you for your reply.


Just yesterday I’ve been able to import site correctly with XAMPP

Hi @mchiesi79

Okay sounds good! It looks like there is a critical error for the wp-anima-child theme here. If you wanted to access the site in Local, you can click on the Site Shell widget (under your site name), and then use WP-CLI to disable plugins, or swap your theme out.

It might also be there is a configuration issue. For example if the site is using a different WP/PHP version in Local than it was using previously. Or maybe the database or server versions are different.

Thank you Nick-B.
