Events Calendar Pro Conflict with Advanced Custom Fields Pro.

[Dan St. Peter]

Hello. I turned off all Plugins, used a default WordPress theme, and isolated an error / conflict with the Events Calendar Pro Plugin and Advanced Custom Fields Pro. Without Events Calendar Pro, everything in the ACF works great.

Experiencing two issues:
1) An ACF drop down menu to select a font-awesome icon is no longer working. The conflict renders the drop down menu inoperable and makes two duplicate fields. See attached screen shot “acf-drop-down-menus.jpg”

2) An ACF Link field conflict makes two duplicate fields. See attached screen shot “acf-duplicate-fields.jpg”.

This screen shot shows the ACF drop down selection menu when The Events Calendar Pro Plugin is deactivated: “drop-down-menus-social-media-icons.jpg”

A developer colleague assessed the error and thinks it is related to a conflict with the Events Calendar Pro Select2JS library.

Thank you for your assistance in resolving these errors and conflicts.

Hi Dan!

Thanks for reaching out to us. I am sorry you are experiencing this issue.

Unfortunately, we are aware of an issue with the select2 JavaScript library which was introduced in our latest update of our commons library and causes a conflict with ACF plugin. The good news is we have already made a fix for it and we are planning on releasing it in our next maintenance release cycle this week.

I have set this thread’s status to “Pending fix” and linked it to the report so we’ll let you know as soon as the fix is released.

The only workaround we’ve found so far is downgrading The Events Calendar to a previous version. To learn more about how you can downgrade your plugins, please refer to the following article > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/downgrading-plugin-past-version/.

We always suggest to setup a dev/staging site so you can test things out and make all plugins, themes and WordPress core updates without disrupting the live site. We also encourage to make a full backup of your site, both database and files so in case something goes wrong you can always restore your site.

My apologies for the inconvenience and we appreciate your patience while we work on this.

Best,
Victor

Hi Victor,

Thank you. When is your next maintenance release?

Thanks.

Hi Dan!

While I cannot commit to a date for this, I’ve just checked the report status and it’s already Pending smoketest, which means it has passed the QA test.

You should expect a release very soon, in the next couple of days. Rest assured we’ll notify you once it’s released.

Best,
Victor

We released an update for this issue. Can you update your plugins (preferrably on a staging site) and see if that resolves the issue.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
