    There was another topic on this, possibly related but unclear –
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/field-labels-dissapear-in-edit-form/

    I’m developing a custom theme, standard template files, not full-site editor.

    I’ve added some fields to a custom post_type for capturing contact form submissions, and I created a form using that field group for a front-end contact form.

    The input fields show, but not the labels. Yes, it’s adding a “acfe-no-label” class for some unknown reason…. but it’s not even populating the label values, so removing that class still shows nothing, or shows a * without the label if it’s required field.

    The form is 3 fields. Fields are showing labels in the admin panel.

    Embed those fields in a form and show it on the front-end, only the input fields show, but no labels. The form actions work upon form submission, so it’s “working”, but won’t show labels.

    TRIED SO FAR:

    Disabling every plugin except ACF and ACFE

    I’ve tried explicitly showing the field group for the front page in question.

    I’ve tried disabling the form “Field groups locations rules” even though the input field are showing and processing properly.

    Made sure form “Label placement” is top or left and not hidden.

    Tried enabling/disabling “form element”, “honeypot”, class labels, and so on.

    Tried “override form render” with value: {field:field_62ab9684119e7}

    SPECULATION:
    ALL form field labels are empty in the object array on the front-end. Perhaps ACFE is just adding the “acfe-no-label” class because there’s no label to show according to the empty labels in the array????

    Everything’s there and working properly EXCEPT the field labels?!???
    All data seems to be getting loaded, EXCEPT the field labels?

    Strange behavior.

    Here’s the field group:

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Hmm this is a really strange behavior. In fact, you guessed it right, ACF Extended automatically add the acfe-no-label class when there is no label on the field (in order to remove that ugly blank space).

    I just tested in on a blank WP install and it works fine. In your case I would recommend to use a blank WP install with the native WP Twenty Twenty One theme (just to make sure you don’t have custom code which would break labels). Also make sure to only have ACF Pro and ACF Extended plugins enabled.

    Then create a new page called My Form, and add the following shortcode: [acfe_form name="my-form"]. It should work.

    Hope it helps!

    Have a nice day!

    Regards.
