Hi @frankster1234

I believe you can create a dummy text field so you can input the slug you want and then add a function to change the post slug on save like this:

function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
    
    $new_slug = get_field('dummy_slug_custom_field');
    $my_post = array(
      'ID'           => $post_id,
      'post_name'   => $new_slug,
    );

    remove_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);

    wp_update_post( $my_post );

    add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);
    
    wp_redirect( get_permalink($post_id) );
    exit;
    
}

// run after ACF saves the $_POST['acf'] data
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);

Where “dummy_slug_custom_field” is the dummy custom field for the post slug.

I hope this helps 🙂
