Events Manager / Buddyboss / ACF conflict

  • Hi,

    I’ve a strange problem which took me quite some time to pinpoint.

    I use the 3 plugins mentionned in the title : ACF / Buddyboss & Events Manager.

    I’ve no problem until I want to add custom fields within ACF. If I save existing custom fields, they are deleted from the database : poof, gone.

    If I remove Events Manager, they are not deleted.

    If I keep active Events Manager but change to another non-buddyboss theme, it works.

    It seems ACF suffers from a conflict between Events Manager & Buddyboss.

    I’ve reached out to buddyboss and I’m awaiting their answer but I thought you would be “happy” to know that,

    If you want to see it by yourself, you can reach out to me, I’ve set up a test site just to pinpoint the conflict.

    Thanks a lot for your work and time,

    Laurent

    just to confirm, is the saving done inside ACF or EM ?

    Hi,

    It’s the saving done in ACF. I’ve worked with ACF support but it does not seem to come from their plugin since it only happens on specific circonstances where Events Manager & Buddyboss are active.

    Thanks

    Does everything work correctly if Buddyboss is deactivated?

    Yes, as I described in my first post.

    But it also works perfectly if Events Manger is deactivated.

    sorry but Im afraid that we are quite limited with regards to other plugins and since it involved 3 plugins in your case; however, maybe you can try to check your php logs to see if there’s any other error that can give us a clue.

    I have a similar problem, minus any involvement of Buddyboss. We use ACF on almost every site we do and Events Manager on a few of them. Twice within the past week, on separate sites, I’ve had either ACF fields or ACF entries completely nuked and had to restore from a backup. One client didn’t notice it, so I fixed it. With the other, I noticed the issues on the site, restored from a backup and notified the client (this was yesterday). this morning, she was updating recurring events in Events Manager when it did the same thing again. It deleted all of the fields in some of the field groups on the site. It didn’t delete them all, just some. We’ve been using these two plug-ins for a long time (even together) and never had any issues, so I’m not sure what to think, but I’m beginning to suspect the problem is with Events Manager. Please let me know if you have figured anything out, I’m at a loss myself.

    Hi,

    Buddyboss answered me and asked to add this to functions.php

    It seems related to Events Manager too somewhere. That might help :

    remove_action( ‘init’, ‘boss_events_default_options’, 11 );
    add_action(’em_options_page_footer_formats’, ‘boss_events_default_options’);

    Thanks for the update. I ended up updating to the latest dev build (5.7.2.2) and my issue went away.
