Originally I thought you said that you had a custom post type.
Adding the post to a category will be a little more complicated.
The code in your template should be
<?php
$args = array(
'field_groups' => array('members-field')), // Field Group name
'post_id' => 'new_post',
'new_post' => array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'draft'
),
'submit_value' => 'Submit Application'
);
acf_form();
?>
for the pre_save_filter something like the below, for this you’re going to need to know the category id
unction 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' => 'A title, maybe a $_POST variable' ,
'post_type' => 'post',
);
// insert the post
$post_id = wp_insert_post($post);
$category_id = 0; // change this to your category ID
wp_set_post_categories($post_id, array($category), false);
// see WP codex for more information on wp_set_post_categories
// return the new ID
return $post_id;
}
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post', 10, 1 );
