G’day Traversal, Kudos on the plugin BTW! I am sure there is probably a quick fix/hack for this one, and apologies if you have already answered it before (I couldn’t find a search facility for the forum). The issue we are having is that when we exclude Post Type Field Sets from specific WP theme templates, every single Post Type Field Set shows up when you create a blank new page (which defaults to the ‘Default Template’ – i.e. page.php) – regardless whether you use the include or exclude options. We have tried excluding these Post Type Field Sets from page.php but it doesn’t seem to work. We have a large site going live in the next week for a major Australian brand, and we would rather our client could just create a blank new page and see only the Post Type Field Sets we intended (without having to change templates). Any chance you could help? Dave |

Quick update: Looks like the DB is storing the correct info for the field set. json:{“sites”:”*”,”templates”:”site_home.php”,”post_types”:”page”} In other words, this field set is visible to all sites, only for pages assigned with the ‘site_home.php’ theme template (which is what we want), and for posts which are designated as ‘pages’ (again, this is perfect). Would you agree that this sounds like a PHP error when the field set is rendered? Traversal, I presume you will already know this info but thought it may helpful with debugging. |

Hmmm, yeah it certainly should be working like you’re expecting. The only thing I’m unsure of is “site_home.php” as your template. If you change the template to the name equivalent to “site_home.php” when after you create the page, does it then hide the fields which aren’t relevant? Is site_home.php a template you’re reusing for multiple pages? Cheers Trav |

Hey Trav, Bizarrely, when you select ‘Homepage’ in the Templates drop down in the back-end (i.e. ’site_home.php), then all other Field Sets switch off – just like you intended. For some reason the only template that doesn’t honour the visibility settings is page.php. As you know single.php etc.. are also similar files in that they do not need the template declaration. Anyway… hope it helps. All the best Dave |

Hi Dave and Trav, I seem to be having the same problem too. Say I have 3 templates – page.php, page-one.php, page-two.php. The field sets will display accordingly on page-one.php and page-two.php templates. Perfect. However, if I choose the “Default template” (page.php), which has no field sets assigned to it, the page displays all the field sets that I have set for page-one.php and page-two.php. Here’s an example. My visibility setting of a field set for page-one.php is as follow: 1. Post types – 2. Templates – 3. Taxonomies – 4. User profiles – This field set will display correctly when I select the page-one.php template, and will not display on other templates. But it will be displayed when page.php template is selected. If I have the same visibility settings for page-two.php. The field sets for page-one and page-two will both be displayed when page.php template is selected. I would appreciate any help with this. Cheers Kat |

Hey Trav, Any further forward with this one? We just can’t spare the time to trawl through all your code to find the specific file to start working on at the moment due to lots of client work. Hope this might help. Dave |

Hi Dave and Kat. Sorry for the lack of activity, I’ll look into this further now. It does indeed seem that when no template is selected, the visibility settings are not excluding field sets that are bound to specific templates, and they really should be. Thanks Kat for the detailed example, that’ll really help to recreate and track it down. |

Hey everyone, I’ve created a gist which should work around this until I prepare a better fix: https://gist.github.com/traversal/e57d96397172ca25c088 This should trigger a change on the template select box, which should hide the fields as the page loads. You may see the fields briefly as the page loads, which isn’t ideal. A proper fix would hide them before they have the opportunity to be shown. I can’t actually exclude the fields from being sent in the HTML completely, since the applicable fields may need to be dynamically shown / hidden as the template is changed. Let me know if that helps. |

Thanks Trav, Bizarrely (and rather worryingly) this feature started working all of a sudden. Sorry I can’t give you any other info that is immediately related to the plugin as we have been focused on our project, and I just realised it was working. Hope this helps in some small way. |

Hey Trav, I can confirm that the situation in my previous comment did eventually change – it stopped working as feared. I’ll let you know if there are any further issues. D |
