Hi Jonathan,
After some testing I found that the second function is doing nothing!, everything going through the broken function (inc the status of a new post!), so i removed it.
now this is what I have in function.php using the codex link u posted
works perfectly fine
//for new and updated post status
add_action( 'acf/save_post', 'update_existing_post_data', 10 );
function update_existing_post_data( $post_id ) {
if ( ! wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) ){
// unhook this function so it doesn't loop infinitely
remove_action('save_post', 'update_existing_post_data');
// Update existing post
$post = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_status' => $_POST['acf']['field_55dd90c79e8a6'],
);
// update the post, which calls save_post again
wp_update_post( $post );
// re-hook this function
add_action('save_post', 'update_existing_post_data');
}
}
Please if you can see anything wrong with this point it out as this is not the first time I need to change this part again!.
