Reply To: Problem with acf_form

I created custom post type ‘RSVP’

it works all right, no problem. The system includes a form via frontend with the function acf_form for confirmation from the guests who will be attending the wedding. Since ACF has captcha default (and I do not really like) I wanted to integrate the technique honeypot to prevent spam as possible. Or add a blank field to my form, and snap the mistake of spam in this case is filled by a bot.

I can block the sending of the form, but also creates an entry in the db with the title and empty fields.

From what I understand, the data that are entered are ignored (in fact, all the fields are empty acf) but I do not want that item is created. Why is spam! I will not fill the db RSVP empty.

I do not think the problem is the theme or plugin, as plugin (except ACF) I have not, and the subject does not create conflicts (the custom made).

I think the error is in the use of as healthy control spam in my functions.php file

My file template for acf_form is this:

acf_form(array(
     'post_id'		=> 'new_post',
     'field_groups'	=> array(
     'group_56ab8c95249f9'
     ),
     'new_post'		=> array(
          'post_type'	=> 'rsvp',
          'post_status'	=> 'pending'
     ),
     'html_after_fields'	=> '<input class="form-control col-xs-12 guest_user_form" tabindex="-1" type="text" id="guest_user" name="guest_user_rsvp" autocomplete="off">',
     'fields'		=> array(
          'field_56ab8cbab11f5',
          'field_56ad313d73887',
          'field_56ad0de452c1c',
          'field_56ad06220e59f',
          'field_56ad1215d1217',
          'field_56ad2e342039d',
          'field_56ad34274f7ee',
          'field_56ad34a34f7f0',
          'field_56ad34ce4f7f1'
     ),
     'return' 		=> '#rsvp_success',
     'field_el' 	=> 'div',
     'uploader' 	=> 'basic',
     'submit_value'	=> __('SUBMIT','italian-wedding-day'),
));

my functions.php

// CHECK PRE SAVE POST ACF
function honeypot( $post_id ) {
	if(!empty($_POST['guest_user_rsvp'])){
		die("You spammer!");
	}
}
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'honeypot', 10, 1 );

or tried to use even the action pre_save but my proble persists

// CHECK PRE SAVE POST ACF
function honeypot( $post_id ) {
	if(!empty($_POST['guest_user_rsvp'])){
		die("You spammer!");
	}
}
add_action('acf/save_post' , 'honeypot', 1 );
