Hi @eckul,

Thanks for the post.

It would be a lot easier if you could make use of the acf_form() function and pass the flexible content field key to the ‘fields’ argument of the form.

You will only need to pass the acf_form_head() function at the top of your template to handle the processing of the form data and the acf_form() function within the posts loop.

To create a new post, the code would look like so:

<?php acf_form_head(); ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>

	<div id="primary" class="content-area">
		<div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">

			<?php /* The loop */ ?>
			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<?php acf_form(array(
					'post_id'		=> 'new_post',
                                        'fields'                => array('field_key'),
					'new_post'		=> array(
						'post_type'		=> 'event',
						'post_status'		=> 'publish'
					),
					'submit_value'		=> 'Create a new event'
				)); ?>

			<?php endwhile; ?>

		</div><!-- #content -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
