Post Object ACF doesn't diplay the Post own ACFs

[charleslouis]

Hey there !

I'm not using wp-json-api-acf plugin, but I use roughly the same function in my theme.

I'm stuck when using a Post Object ACF in a post : Post Object ACF is part of the required post, but doesn't include it's own ACFs.

To illustrate :
Let's say we have a HOME page with a Post Object ACF from which you pick the post "ABOUT".
This post ABOUT has the_title, the_content, as well as a subtitlle in a simple Text Field ACF.

If I call ABOUT, the resulting post object will encompass the simple Text Field ACF, as expected.

However if I call HOME, the resulting HOME post object will encompass the ABOUT post object, but only core fields (the_title/the_content). ABOUT post object in HOME won't show ABOUT's text field ACF.

Maybe we should add a condition in the function above to recursively look for ACF in ACF Post Objects, using acf/format_value/type={$field_type} where $field_type = post_object ?

Any thought on this ?

Thanks

Is this via the WP-API? It seems not? I'm not sure it has to do with this plugin (which you aren't using?) and/or the WP-API (are you using that?)

Hi @PanManAms,
Thanks for answering.
It is indeed via wp-api and I roughly the same function as the one provided by your plugin which I plug it directly in functions.php.

Vocabulary makes it hard to explain I guess !
Do you manage to get wp-api to display a Post Object's ACF

Let say I select a post from a Post Object ACF in home page

Wp-api will show this post like this

But the ACFs of my related Post Object "Bertrand Dupont" won't be displayed in the above. Hence I'll be missing some infos, while I 'd like to also have infos such as the one I have when I go to wp-json/posts/98 :

I hope it is clearer !

I think I have a similar problem. I'm using a relationship type field and the page I'm assigning comes with that filter: raw which don't have all information. I'm looking for a way to fetching those pages featured images.
