In admin select field selected choice displays as html about acf-country

Hi ACF-country users,

I'm thinking about removing flags images in favor of emoji flags: lighter, removing a dependency, no more select2 issues, etc.

What do you think about it?

Looks like emoji flags are dead 😢

That's a shame and a bad coincidence, a few after days after I almost finished writing a new version with emoji flags...

@EmmanuelBeziat However, countries doesn't disappear or show up every morning (although the recent events may remind us that borders are not that set in stone 😞)

I think I'll still push this new update soon.

[nlemoine]

Finally got a project where I needed to use ACF Country so I decided to give it an update.

You can try it here: https://github.com/nlemoine/acf-country/tree/3.x

I finally went for using emojis flags although they're pretty dead but it provides the huge benefit of ending those Select2 issues. It's also lightweight and faster to show since you can display flags without the need to even use Select2.

Note that it's ACF 6 compatible for now, at least if you use ACF UI.

Hello @dbrabyn

I'm not able to reproduce your bug. Do you have other plugins activated on your site? Maybe another plugin is loading a different version of select2. Try deactivating other plugins.

I was just having the same issue. In my case, the culprit was WooCommerce. Toggling WooCommerce causes this issue to go away/come back.

[dbrabyn]

Yep, WooCommerce is loading plugins/woocommerce/assets/js/select2/select2.full.min.js?ver=4.0.3 which is really selectWoo, "a fork of select2 with improved accessibility".

Having the same issue.
WPML is loading select2 too (and I can't de-activate this plugin...).
How can we solve this problem?

A new version of ACF has been released:

Update: We’ve also pushed out version 5.10.1, which includes a fix for a conflict with WooCommerce’s SelectWoo library.

Can you tell if that fixes the issue?

[dbrabyn]

I'm still seeing it with ACF Pro 5.10.1.

[zuperuser]

Same here; still HTML in the dropdowns...

[lgladdy]

Hey everyone,

This should be resolved in ACF 5.10.2, but please let me know if not!

It seems to be working okay for me now. Try clearing your browser caches if you still have issues.

[dbrabyn]

Still there for me.

[zuperuser]

ACF 5.10.2 solved it for me.
BTW: emoji flags are a good idea!

[hercilioseox]

Hey there. Just found the same issue.
ACF: 5.11.4
WooCommerce: 6.1.1
ACF Country: 2.0.2

The emoji flags idea looks great. Please let us know when we can test it.

Ah dang, I was just coming to say I have the bug too (WP 6.0 / ACF 5.11 / WooCommerce 6.5.1), and that emojis was an awesome idea.

Too bad :(
