Advanced Forms for ACF version 1.9.3.9 released

Version 1.9.3.9 is now live for both Advanced Forms and Advanced Forms Pro. This release fixes file uploads on sites running ACF 6.8.11.

File uploads on ACF 6.8.11

ACF 6.8.11 changed how it checks files sent through the basic uploader, and Advanced Forms didn’t pass the new check. Files were dropped without an error. The rest of the submission still came through, but File and Image fields were left empty.

1.9.3.9 fixes this for every form, including forms that edit an existing post. If you added the workaround from GitHub issue #131, you can remove it once you’ve updated. Leaving it in place won’t cause any problems.

Changelog

  • Fixed file uploads being dropped on ACF 6.8.11.

How to update

The free version updates through WordPress.org as usual. Pro licence holders can update from the Plugins screen or download the latest version from the downloads area of their Hookturn account.
