Hi there,

I have both Toolset Access (Version 2.7.1) and ACF Pro plugins (Version 5.7.13 ) installed, and both are activated and versions are up-to-date. It seems that Access is affecting ACF Pro. When I try to edit my ACF custom field Group, I can't access the custom fields. The URL is something like this when I try to access one of the ACF custom field group '/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=acf-field-group#no_privileges', I'm getting the "#no_privileges" at the end.

It was not like that before until I've updated the Toolset plugins to the latest version. When I deactivate the Access plugin, I am able to access to all ACF Custom fields.

Not sure what the issue is, but can that be fixed?

Thanks, Rose

Hi, if you go to Toolset > Access Control > Post Types tab, can you tell me the settings for Posts and also for Field Groups? Are either managed by Access? Also are you testing as site admin, or as another User role?

Hi Christian,

For Posts, it's Managed by Access (screenshot attached).
For Field Groups, it's 'Use the default WordPress read permissions' (screenshot attached), but I have tried all 3 options : 'Managed by Access ' + 'Same read permission as posts' + 'Use the default WordPress read permissions'. It still doesn't work.

I am logged in as the site Admin.

Thanks!

There is a similar issue affecting other post types, not specific to ACF Field Groups: https://toolset.com/errata/if-toolset-access-and-wpml-are-active-together-you-cannot-edit-any-posts-controlled-by-toolset-access/

The workaround seems to be adding a WPML Group in Toolset > Access Controls, and adding the Admin User to that group. Can you try this workaround and let me know the results?
