Problem with ACF Frontend

This is caused by a bug in the ACF Frontend plugin. In order to allow other avatar plugins, the database value of the “Avatar Field” setting when “- None -” is selected is expected to be 'none' while it is actually an empty string (''). Thus, other avatar plugins are never allowed.

Fortunately, there is an easy fix for this. Right click on the dropdown select box below “Avatar Field” and select “Inspect Element”. In the element inspector, expand the <select> element and for the first <option> element change the value attribute from empty string to “none”. You can do that by double clicking on the attribute and appending ="none" to it.

When first selected it should look like this:

<option value>

After changing it, it should look like this:

<option value="none">

After you’ve done this change, click on “Save Settings”. If you navigate to a user profile page, you should now be able to edit avatars.

First of all, thank you for your quick and kind reply.

Unfortunately, you have to know that you’re dealing with a “noob”. I’m ok with the inspector part but, what am I supposed to do to make these changes effective? I mean – here it is the noob statement – when I refresh the page the value is reverted to the empty “” and the shortcode isn’t working on the page.

Sorry for my complete ignorance, I’m yet a very beginner.
You have my 5 stars anyway because of the plugin itself (the fault here is from ACF Frontend) and because of your support.

Thanks

It seems to me like you are not saving the settings after you change the value. You have to click on the “Save Settings” button. The page will refresh automatically and the value will persist as long as you don’t hit the save button again.
