Description

Hey i’m trying to implement two date-fields and a editor field outside the wp-admin inclosure.

The fields rendered, but the functions from the editor and date fields are nowhere to been seen.

There are no javascript errors on load, but when I click on the “Visual”-btn, i get this error “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘onpageload’ of undefined”.

only solution I have found to get this working is downgrading to ACF pro v5.6 from v5.9, but i dont see this as a viable solution for the future..

Im using WP 5.5.3, theme Astra, if this help in any wway

Research direction

Start by reproducing the frontend date-field and WYSIWYG behavior with ACF Pro 5.9, WordPress 5.5.3, and the Astra theme, then inspect the reported onpageload error when clicking the Visual button. Compare the behavior with ACF Pro 5.6; done means both fields work outside wp-admin without downgrading.
