i have the same problem here.

i created a custom post type “datensatz” and also used the scripts from this site: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/tutorials/using-acf_form-to-create-a-new-post/

i created a page with a template like this:

<?php acf_form_head();
get_header(); ?>
 
	<div id="primary" class="content-area">
		<div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">
		
			<?php /* The loop */ ?>
			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
 
				<?php acf_form(array(
					'post_id'	=> 'new',
					'submit_value'	=> 'Neuen Datensatz erstellen'
				)); ?>
 
			<?php endwhile; ?>
			 
		</div><!-- #content -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->
 
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

and added the following code in my functions.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'  => 'Test',
        'post_type'  => 'datensatz',
    );
 
    // 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' );

on the page in the frontend just the submit button with my custom text shows up, but the form is missing.

i would really appreciate your support. thank you!
