Description

This was not happening with beta3, I didn't check in beta4, but with beta 4.1, when you choose to Broadcast a post to another site, the posts are duplicated (as in you get two identical posts) on the target site. Disabling ACF fixes the issue and only one posts shows up on the target site as it should.

I'm not sure what's going on there, but I'm happy to help get to the bottom of it in anyway I can.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the duplication on a multisite setup with ACF 5.8-beta4.1 and the Broadcast plugin, then compare the behavior with beta3 and with ACF disabled. Done means broadcasting a post creates exactly one post on the target site.
