Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/asha23/bl-prevent-acf-timeouts/archive/refs/heads/main.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Prevent ACF Timeouts
This plugin is for use with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and will work with any version of ACF
that includes the hooks 'acf/savepost' and 'acf/updatevalue'. As far as I know this means any
version of ACF past or future.
Have you ever created an extremely complex ACF field group for something like a page builder?
One day someone is editing a page and they've added more content and fields into the repeaters
and flexible content than it can handle and when they save it the page just times out.
This pluign is a means to prevent this situation. This plugin does not speed up the process of saving
the updates, but it does prevent the timeout error situation by intervening when the save process is
taking too long.
When it appears the the update is taking too long and a timeout may be iminent, this plugin
sends the user to a temporary page so that the update can continue in the background. Once the update is
complete then the user is sent on their way to the page that they were supposed to get to after the update.
Please note again, like I said above, this plugin does not correct the issue in ACF assocaited with
saving many custom fields. The bigger problem for me
