ACF shortcodes not working in Full Site Editing templates

Hi @rinh

ACF Support Team here. This forum is generally used by ACF users to help each other out.

However, we would love to continue investigating and troubleshooting this issue, please can you create a ticket using our ?support form and we can look into it further.

@rinh I’m facing the same issue. Did you get it resolved?

@asafm7 kind of, but I had to install an additional plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/display-a-meta-field-as-block/
With that plugin I was able to get ACF fields to work on Site Editor templates.

Oddly enough ACF shortcodes work on pages and posts, but not in templates without that plugin. I’m not sure if it’s a bug with ACF or Site Editor.

Hope you get it work!

Thanks @rinh . I hope ACF will bring it to core.

@rinh try this:

add_filter('acf/shortcode/allow_in_block_themes_outside_content', '__return_true');

https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/blog/acf-6-0-3-release-security-changes-to-the-acf-shortcode-and-ui-improvements/#block-themes

It actually seems to be working with all types of fields.

Note that when accessing rows, you should start with 0:

@asafm7 That makes it work without additional plugin. Thank you a lot!

@rinh no problem.

This actually makes ACF so powerful. I wonder why they hid this option @acfsupport
