Reply To: ACF Form not saving data

Is this for creating a new user or for adding these fields to a CPT? or are you trying to do both at the same time?

in your code $args for acf_form 'post_id' => $user_id,
I did miss this, so your form should be either creating a new user or updating and existing one, that looks right.

if ( is_user_logged_in() == true ) : 
   global $current_user;
   $user_id = 'user_'.$current_user->ID;
   else : $user_id = 'new';
endif;

The other problem you have that I just noticed is this at the end of your pre_save_post filter

//register user
$user_id = wp_insert_user($userdata);

	return $post_id;

first thing is that you’re returning $post_id instead of $user_id and the second thing is that you can’t return the bare user ID for ACF to work, this needs to look like this

$user_id = wp_insert_user($userdata);
$user_id = 'user_'.$user_id;
return $user_id;
