I resolved the problem. I had selected post type: post, not understanding that too was a condition. With the logic set to “or”, all 6 CTAs were showing on every post. When I removed the entry from the post type field, the plugin worked as expected.

I have deactivated all other plugins and did not find a plugin conflict to be at fault.

Hi Thomas, Thanks so much for your message.

I have two piwik accounts, one for each of my two careers. Each install gathers data from multiple websites. One install gets 3K hits per month, the other very little.

“Unwieldy” means that I have to find a programmer every time there’s a problem with Piwik because even though I know html and css this aspect of my website requires a different set of skills. In 2015 the whole thing went down, stopped tracking, and I had to get a proper programmer to fix it.

This time, I try to visit my dashboard which is covered with errors. I click update and get another very complicated system with a lot of errors needing ssh to start to fix… And now the “you must update” screen no longer allows me to get back to the dashboard to see the errors. I only have a screenshot of that, and because I unfortunately screenshotted “whole page”, the resolution is too low to read, so I can’t even tell my programmer what kind of errors those are.

So, seems to be a wordpress problem, not ACFEF…

Here’s a solution. Added this to code snippets… Seems to work.

add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'DisableStrongPW', 100 );

function DisableStrongPW() {
    if ( wp_script_is( 'user-profile', 'enqueued' ) ) {
        wp_dequeue_script( 'user-profile' );
    }
}

Hi Matthias,

I am struggling with this too and it’s a bit more complicated than just “setting the z-index”…

I too have a fixed element on my site (the login keyhole) which “floats” over background text, etc.

This means that I have to be sure that any interactive elements (buttons and form fields) are layered above it in the z. That includes the buttons that load the ACFFEF modal. But then the modal needs to be above everything, including its own launcher button, right?

When setting z-index as you probably already know the element has to have a position other than static. No problem. Relative usually works.

However there are two other problematic twists to z-index which is that it ALSO follows the hierarchy of parent child child child child AND there are circumstances when unpositioned “static” elements will stack on top of positioned ones on which you set a z-index and wonder why it doesn’t work…

In other words just giving the modal a high z-index didn’t solve the problem. Here’s why…

You can see my problem here: https://www.artisanmodern.com/participate.

I have two separate ACFEFs. Getting them on top of my keyhole was not a problem, but getting them to not interfere with one another is so far only partly resolved.

Looking forward to an answer…

Before I was having problems with the user profile form. Now I have the same problem also with the create user form.

Hi Shabti,

Thanks so much for your work and responsiveness!

I am also wanting users to be able to edit other aspects of their profile (such as uploading an avatar) without being forced to upgrade their password.

I’ve set “Required” to off for this field and strength to “very weak”, but I am still getting the error “The password is too weak. Please make it stronger.”

Thank you,

Well, I just tested AGAIN, and now the ACF Frontend Permissions works as expected. The button only appears for the author of the post. I’m sorry but I can’t explain what was wrong as I didn’t change anything. A few days ago it was malfunctioning, today it works. No updates in this time…

The “Dynamic Conditions” plugin has nothing to do with users/login etc. It’s about showing or hiding based on alphanumeric values in fields…

The Plugin “Visibility Control” allows this by logged in/not, and user roles, but has no setting for “current user”.

Thank you so much.

I’m just confused because it seems the ACF Frontend form Permissions section is set up to do exactly this, but it’s not working properly?

Hi there, maybe my question wasn’t clear.

I am using ACF Frontend Form > Action “Edit Post”.

I have set the permissions to “Post Author”. However, in order to get this permission option to appear I must first select “Logged in users”. The result is that ALL logged in users see the button “Edit Post” and also can edit the modal. I have tested this while logged in as a user who is not author of the post at hand.

How do I get the “Edit Post” button to appear ONLY for the author of the post?

Thank you!

Violet

Ok, since the developers don’t seem to be answering questions, I’ll post what I did.

First point is that although their website is not linked from here, I did find the link from github. On their website is more information about shortcode parameters etc:

https://favoriteposts.com/

There i learned that user_id= defaults to current user, so no need to set that and site_id is in case you are using multisite and want to restrict.

Regarding my lack of results, when listing multiple post types, this shortcode is nonstandard, in that necessary to separate with comma but WITHOUT space after the comma.

Example (DOESN’t Work):
[user_favorites post_types=”post, atelier, objectography”]

DOES work:
[user_favorites post_types=”post,atelier,objectography”]

Finally, I discovered that it IS possible to have multiple shortcodes on the page. The “not working” problem was because when I copied and pasted the shortcode from the documentation page at www.ads-software.com the ” marks were pasted as curly marks, rather than straight ones. This disabled the shortcode. Wierdly, I’ve used a lot of shortcode and this is the first time I’ve had this problem.

Well apparently it doesn’t like to have multiple instances of the shortcode. I tried with only one instance, and got some favorites, but only posts, not my custom post types (yes, I have enabled them in settings).

This shortcode only returns favorited posts.

[user_favorites include_links=”true” include_buttons=”false” post_types=”post, atelier, objectography, editions” include_thumbnails=”true” thumbnail_size=”thumbnail” include_excerpt=”false”]

Also, the documentation doesn’t say what to do with this, so I deleted. Could that be the problem?
user_id=”” site_id=””
Obviously, the site we’re on and the user who is logged in… So what to do with these?

Thank you for your work and your help,

Violet

Hi there,

Now that I understand how the ACF front-end “Edit” works, I’m very happy!

BUT all users are seeing the edit button on all pages where it’s installed, not just the post author. How do I fix that?

Thank you so much!

Violet

Hi sorry,

I found solutions to all.
