ACF unable to perform validation due to an invalid security nonce?

I rolled back to 6.3.5 and it works fine for me also.

Hi @cpkid1

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.

@acfsupport

Judging by the many people here who have the same issues, it’d probably be in your best interest to “look into it further” whether or not I create a ticket.

FYI – I opened a ticket with ACF/WPE.

In the meantime, the ACF downloads page https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/downloads/ is showing the error “Sorry. Something went wrong loading downloads.” If you need to roll back, you can access v 6.3.5 here: https://github.com/AdvancedCustomFields/acf/releases/tag/6.3.5

I also experiencing this, with ACF 6.3.9.

I was able to resolve the issue by removing this code (which was used to bring back default Custom Fields meta boxes):

// show default custom fields, even with ACF add_filter( 'acf/settings/remove_wp_meta_box', '__return_false' );

@clicknathan I haven’t tried – I left the plugin at ver 6.3.8 and been going back and forth with the ACF team for over 3 weeks. I updated the support ticket with your fix and am hoping it gives them some insight on how to roll out a permanent fix in the next release.

Rollback to 6.3.5 resolved the issue for me

@lgladdy latest version of ACF, but not using WPML?at all. This just happened on a custom post edit attempt.

@room34 We should definitely only be running that function if we have ACF validation to perform. I’ll ask the team to check if that’s the case.

It is possible to assign ACF fields to menus, which is why we would be attempting validation, but we should bail if there aren’t any ACF Fields.

We’ve not be able to reproduce this though our side, even with big menus – that’s why we’ve asked everyone here to email. If anyone is able to give us a reproducible case, I’m confident we can fix this quickly. If you’ve already opened a ticket with support, please ask your agent to transfer the issue to me (Liam Gladdy), and I’ll pick it up directly with you.

If you’ve not opened one yet, but can provide us a reproducible test case we can login to, please mark your ticket FAO Liam, and we’ll fix it in our next release.

We need to understand what is being sent on the validation request for your site @room34 if you’re not using ACF fields on menus, and for that we need the full request data (or to be able to trace live in our browsers, if you’re able to give us the log) – and for security we don’t want folks sending those here on the forum.

Cheers,
Liam
