@rockeypjb and @robnero

That’s not working with PRO. I set up the front end form like this:

acf_form( array('post_id' => 'new_post',
  'new_post' => array( 
    'post_title' => 'Temp Title',
    'post_content' => 'Temp Contents',
    'post_type' => 'members', 
    'post_status' => 'publish' ),
  'submit_value' => 'Submit',
  'field_groups' => array( 17 ),
  'return' => get_the_permalink() ) );

I tried it without the ‘new_post’ array, knowing that’d I’d be changing the values in a pre_save_post filter, but the post wouldn’t save without it.

Then the pre_save_post function is:

if( $post_id == 'new_post' )
{
  $post = array( 'post_title' => $_POST['acf']['field_2'],
    'post_content' => $_POST['acf']['field_2'],
    'post_type' => 'members', 
    'post_status' => 'publish' );

  $post_id = wp_insert_post( $post );
}

return $post_id;

None of the changes made via the pre_save_post function had any effect on the post that was saved to WP.
