I’ve decided to come at this from a different angle and found a solution. All I need to save is the Post Title and Post Content which is really simple to do with v5 acf_form
. But I want to use a “Basic” wysiwyg editor and remove the ability to upload media.
Here is the solution I came up with
Here is the code on the Create Post page template:
acf_form( array(
'post_id' => 'new_post',
'new_post' => array(
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_title' => $_POST['acf']['_post_title']
),
'post_title' => true,
'post_content' => true,
'submit_value' => __('Publish', 'ppt-church'),
'updated_message' => __('Your post has been published', 'ppt-church')
));
Here is the code on the Edit Post page template:
$post_id = $_GET['post_id'];
acf_form( array(
'post_id' => $post_id,
'post_title' => true,
'post_content' => true,
'submit_value' => __('Update Post', 'ppt-church'),
'updated_message' => __('Your post has updated', 'ppt-church')
));
I use $_GET
to get the post ID from the URL
Here is the code in the functions.php
file:
// Change Post Content Type
add_filter( 'acf/get_valid_field', 'change_post_content_type');
function change_post_content_type( $field ) {
if($field['type'] == 'wysiwyg') {
$field['tabs'] = 'visual';
$field['toolbar'] = 'basic';
$field['media_upload'] = 0;
}
return $field;
}
I hope this helps anyone
