  I tried to create a new post using front end form, everything work exempt that I can’t get post title field value or post content field value 🙁
  here is my code in the template page file:

  function add_person( $post_id )
  {
  // check if this is to be a new post
  if( $post_id != ‘new’ )
  {
  return $post_id;
  }
  var_dump($POST);

  // Create a new post
  $post = array(
  ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’ ,
  ‘post_type’ => ‘company’ ,
  ‘post_title’ => $_POST[‘acf’][“acf[_post_title]”],
  ‘post_content’ => $_POST[‘acf’][“acf[_post_content]”]
  );

  // 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’ , ‘add_person’ );
  acf_form_head();
  ———————————
  <?php

  $args = array(
  ‘post_id’ => ‘new’,
  ‘field_groups’ => array(24),
  ‘post_title’ => true,
  ‘post_content’ => true
  );

  acf_form( $args );

  ?>

  when I vardump the $POST variable I get NULL

  ——————————————–

  Also I didn’t understand how to utilise functions like “function add_person( $post_id ) » in function.php how to add several functions like this one ?
  ex: – function add_person( $post_id )
  – function add_company( $post_id )
  – function add_product( $post_id )
  and how to setup my template files so they know which function they have to use according to the post type they are supposed to create ?

  Thank you very much for your help

  I’ve also noticed that ACF support has been less reliable in the last few months. It’s possible that Elliot has received a sudden influx of users since the launch of ACF 5 and figuring out how to adapt. Fortunately, he’s still pushing out new features.

  I’m not sure if this will completely answer your questions, but here’s a start. Here’s how I think you need to setup your function call:

  acf_form( array(
  	'post_id' => 'new_post',
  	'new_post' => array(
  		'post_type' => 'company',
  		'post_status' => 'publish',
  	),
  	'field_groups' => array(24),
  	'post_title' => true,
  	'post_content' => true,
  ) );

  You’d call that in your template file with acf_form_head called at the top (above get_header). No need to mess with actions or filters in your functions.php file unless you want to do further customization.
