  Hi. I have got form created for members to publish post on front end. I am looking for way to make it possible to choose if you want to publish new post or save it as draft. I tried to look for solutions, but everything what I found didn’t work for me.

  thank for help

  I have tried this, but it does’t work.. post goes to draft only.

  add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post' );
  function my_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
  
  	// check if this is to be a new post
      if( $post_id != 'new' ) {
          return $post_id;
      };
  
       // is checkbox field checked?
      if (isset($_POST['acf']['field_601ec86a16f23'])) {
      	$status = 'draft';
      } else {
      	$status = 'publish';
      }
  
      // Create a new post
      $post = array(
  		'post_status' => $status,
  		'post_type'   => 'post',
  		'post_title'  => true,
      );
  
      // insert the post
      $post_id = wp_insert_post( $post );
  
      // return the new ID
      return $post_id;
  
  };
