OK, that is helpful. Not I need to figure out how to property write the filter. would I do something like this?

 add_action( 'tribe_get_related_posts_args', 'excl_category_from_related' );
     
    function excl_category_from_related() {
        
        $args = array(
            'cat' => -18,
            );

        return $args ;
    }

Hi Josh,

I’m checking back in to see if there has been any discussion from your dev team on this?

Hello,

I’ve been emailing back and forth with Elliot from ACF, and here is his last response which I feel correctly identifies the issue.

Hi Derek

Thanks for the info, I did a bit more testing and can now get the same result as you.

I did some debugging of some ACF files and found something very odd.
For some reason, when the post is saved, the $post_id parameter (within the save_post action) should be the value of the event being edited (3439), yet when I output the value, it is 3440344034403440

I checked to see if this was the value 3440, and the function was being run 3 times, but no, for some weird reason, the events calendar plugin is modifying the $post_id value and changing it to something that doesn’t relate to tehe correct post. This is why ACF data is not saving – ACF is saving to the post 3440344034403440…

I don’t think I can provide a fix from my end, but please keep me in the loop to see what events calendar devs make of this info.

Thanks
E

Hopefully that will help you guys hone in on the issue. Is it possible to keep the POST_ID the same for recurring events?

Thank you. I will keep the conversation updated as I receive new info.

I’m having the same issues, and landed here looking for answers. Did anyone find any clarity on this issue? I also posted a thread on the ACF forum here: http://bit.ly/ZF2MP9
