Unable to update ACF pre-packaged plugin #778

Open jonpontet opened 5 years ago

jonpontet commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I believe I am following the right approach here, but please let me know if I am not.

ACF PRO is a required plugin for my plugin which uses TGMPA. I have overwritten version 5.7.12 ZIP (/lib/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro.zip) with version 5.8- I am just doing this on a local test environment for now.

Going to the plugins admin page, I have the message as expected: "The following plugin needs to be updated to its latest version to ensure maximum compatibility with this theme: Advanced Custom Fields PRO. Begin updating plugin"

I press "Begin updating". I see the "Install Required Plugins" page, and press "Update" for ACF.

But then on the "Updating Plugin: Advanced Custom Fields PRO" page I have the message "Update package not available."...so it doesn't work!

Any ideas?

Same here, did you manage to resolve it?

You can include ACF directly inside your plugin or theme.

https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/including-acf-within-a-plugin-or-theme/

After this you can update your an additional plugin, which includes ACF in the upper described way.

Including ACF is not a good way. I got same problem. Can you fix that?

Have the same problem with updating ACF Pro: "Update package not available."
