Media in ACF WYWIWYG field is serving the front end path instead of the backend path

[mmgyshoaf]

Description

I updated the setting here to "Use the WordPress domain for media URLs in post content", existing content that uses ACF WYSIWYG field is still serving the image with the front end URL instead of the WordPress domain. Screenshot of my settings:

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable Faust plugin
2. Create ACF WYSIWYG field and populate with an image, when viewed the default is to use the FE domain for the image path, which doesn't work.
3. Update the Faust config to "Use the WordPress domain for media URLs in post content"
4. GraphQL query still returns the FE path for the image

Additional context

This is a multisite environment. We updated this setting for all sites. Some sites will now display the cms path for new content, other sites are still rewriting to the FE path.

Hey @mmgyshoaf, thanks for reporting this issue. Do you have any other plugins active on your site when experiencing this behavior? Any additional info you may have with that will help us reproduce this issue.

[mmgyshoaf]

@josephfusco thanks for looking into this. This is a multisite setup, here are the plugins that are enabled network wide:

• ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO
• ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO
• Advanced Custom Fields PRO
• Change WP Mail From Details
• Classic Editor
• Disable Comments
• Faust.js™
• Manage Notification E-mails
• Simple History
• WordPress Multisite Content Copier/Updater
• WP Engine Smart Plugin Manager
• WP Engine Smart Search
• WP Webhooks
• WPGraphQL
• WPGraphQL Filter Query
• WPGraphQL for ACF
• WPGraphQL Smart Cache
• WPS Menu Exporter
• Yoast SEO

Interestingly, we have two sites where we are seeing the images use the correct path on one, but not the other. Same codebase, and I've double-checked that the Faust and GraphQL settings all appear to be the same.

@mmgyshoaf can you share the query(s) you are running and their results? both with and without the option in Faust checked? can you also share a .zip of your ACF Field Group exported as JSON so we can reproduce exactly?

[josephfusco]

Hey @mmgyshoaf, I am unable to reproduce this issue locally, but here is what I've tried so far:

• Multisite w/ subdomains using Local w/ 4 total sites in the network.
  1. media.local
  2. bravo.media.local
  3. charlie.media.local
  4. delta.media.local
• Faust and WPGraphQL settings are all the same across the sites, with "Use the WordPress domain for media URLs in post content" active.
• I've inserted 3 images in each WYSIWYG field for the hello world post on each subsite.

Here is the ACF export I used that adds a single WYSIWYG field to each post:
acf-export-2024-10-02.json

Here is the query I used to see the images in the WYSIWYG field:

{
  posts {
    nodes {
      __typename
      wysiwyg {
        __typename
        myContent
      }
    }
  }
}

Here is an example response showing all images in the WYSIWYG using the WordPress URL, with the same response both as an authenticated user and public user.

@mmgyshoaf can you share the query(s) you are running and their results? both with and without the option in Faust checked? can you also share a .zip of your ACF Field Group exported as JSON so we can reproduce exactly?

Providing the above would help us better assist with resolving issue you are experiencing.

Hi @josephfusco thank you for taking a look at this issue!

Here's the ACF export: acf-export.json

I get the same response whether or not the Faust box is checked. FYI the cms subdomain for WordPress, and preprod is the subdomain for the frontend.

Here is the query:

 page(id: $databaseId, idType: DATABASE_ID, asPreview: $asPreview) {
            title
            template {
                ... on DefaultTemplate {
                    pageContent {
                        content {
                            ... on PageContentContentFullWidthCopyLayout {
                                fieldGroupName
                                orientation
                                headline
                                copyWidth
                                copyColumns {
                                    subheadline
                                    copy
                                    ctaColumns {
                                        cta {
                                            target
                                            title
                                            url
                                        }
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Response from the site where it is not working, same response whether or not the Faust option is checked or not:

On site where it is working as expected, Faust box is checked:

If you have access to the WP Engine helpdesk, I have an open ticket there as well, they're replicating it in my environments. https://help.wpengine.com/hc/en-us/requests/7304303 They're the ones that suggested that I open this ticket.

Thanks!

FYI the cms subdomain for WordPress, and preprod is the subdomain for the frontend.

@josephfusco ^ I don't think we tried with these settings being configured differently. This might be the missing bit of info we needed to reproduce 👀
