Hi,
I’m using wordpress multisite and acf latest version.
I’m using this method for front end posting.

<?php 

function my_pre_save_post( $post_id )
{
    // check if this is to be a new post
    if( $post_id != 'new' )
    {
        return $post_id;
    }

    // Create a new post
    $post = array(
        'post_status'  => 'draft' ,
        'post_title'  => 'A title, maybe a $_POST variable' ,
        'post_type'  => 'post' ,
    );  

    // insert the post
    $post_id = wp_insert_post( $post ); 

    // update $_POST['return']
    $_POST['return'] = add_query_arg( array('post_id' => $post_id), $_POST['return'] );    

    // return the new ID
    return $post_id;
}

add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post' );

?>

I want to post multiple blog at same time with this type of code.

<?php
$original_blog_id = get_current_blog_id(); // get current blog

$bids = array(1,2); // all the blog_id's to loop through
foreach($bids as $bid):
       switch_to_blog($bid); //switched to blog with blog_id $bid
       // ... your code for each blog ...
endforeach ; 

switch_to_blog( $original_blog_id ); //switched back to current blog
?>

Please help me. I’m a newbie… Thanks in advance.

Hi @SAFEER N

Interesting. Can you please take a look at the source code for the acf_form_head function located in /core/api.php

You will see that to save the $_POST data, a simple action is called.

You can use this code to run the save action within your loop.

Thanks

Hi ,
Thank you for your reply. I saw that api.php file & save action. but I can’t understand what will I change. Is this way correct?

$bids = array(1, 2);
foreach ($bids as $bid) :
	switch_to_blog($bid);
	do_action('acf/save_post', $post_id);
endforeach;
switch_to_blog( $original_blog_id );

Where I Put save function? Please help me. I can post to multiple blog at same time using wp_insert_post($post). but that time acf field not saving. Please…

Hi @SAFEER N

The code: do_action('acf/save_post', $post_id); will save all $_POST field data to the post with ID $post_id.

So within your loop, you will need to write some WP code to insert a new post, get the ID from that and then run the above code on each new post.

Does that help?

Thanks
E
