Advanced Custom Fields Extended Plugin does not recognize multiple authors

    Thank you for all you do! I’ve added the plugin “Co-author Plus” because we have multiple authors each post. Both the WordPress editor and ACF recognize all authors attributed to the post on the backend and allows them author access for editing but ACF Extended only recognizes the first author. So the frontend ACF Extended forms are only available to the first author but not the second or third authors attributed to the post.

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback! I’m not sure to understand your report tho. What does “ACF Extended forms are only available to the first author” means? Can you please elaborate? Do you have a screenshot or an example?

    Thanks!

    Regards.

    Many of our posts have multiple authors who can edit the same post. All of the authors assigned to a post are allowed to edit the posts on the backend but only one of the authors is able to see the frontend form by ACF Extended. Screenshot shows the list of authors. The first on the list is the only one who can see the frontend ACF Extended form https://snipboard.io/imxOXb.jpg

    Hello,

    ACF Extended: Dynamic Forms are visible to everyone out of the box, which means you probably setup a conditional setting/function somewhere. Can you please share which method are you using to achieve that conditional render?

    Thanks.

    Oh, you nailed it. My conditionals on the frontend were only including the_author. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
