The Plugin can't be installed via zip archive. The following error appears:

Error: Could not load WPGraphQL ACF Mutations. Please install the WPGraphQL ACF Mutations plugin via Composer.

composer install:prod

Wordpress: Version 6.0.3
Advanced Custom Fields PRO: Version 6.0.3
Advanced Custom Fields: Extended: Version 0.8.8.10
WP GraphQL: Version 1.12.0
WPGraphQL for Advanced Custom Fields: Version 0.5.3

I just had the same issue but I got it working when I followed the install instructions haha ;)

You have to run composer install:prod inside of the plugin directory befor activating the plugin.

For me it doesn't https://share.cleanshot.com/0Qs3Yb.

Anyways, I can't use composer on the server I want to use this. So, at least in my opinion, a WP should be installable through a zip archive, because not everyone can or want use composer.

Oh okey, I think PHP 8 or above will fix that error. It was just me not following the install instructions :P

Agreed! A release containing all dependancies would be good down the road. My uneducated guess is that this is an an "in-progress" release. (Just found the plugin myself)

You can't use PHP 8.x for Wordpress. Because many plugins do not run on Version 8. The errors light up like a Christmas tree, when changing to PHP 8.x. It's a big problem.

Yes, could be, that this is a work in progress. But the main branch on a software shouldn't be. It should be a stable version. Of course there can still be some bugs. But at least one should be able to install it.

I think I just have to wait until a version I can use is released. That happens from time to time. Not a big deal.

I hear you, some plugins won't play well yet.
On the other hand I'm running PHP 8.x on over 30 production sites on WP Engine without issues. Some of them with 20-30 plugins so I would say most major plugins do work.

Let's see, maybe I can squeeze in some time in my current project to contribute a bit to this plugin. Let's hope so.

@michaelgrossklos I would suggest running composer install:prod on your own machine then transferring that way for the time being.

A release containing all dependancies would be good down the road. Currently the plugin is used internally Zngly and is still in active development.

Thank you for the feedback so far. Its been good to see people interested in the idea.
