Hi @pipoulito,

Thanks for the post.

I believe you can get the value of the date from the get_sub_field() function within the have_rows() loop and pass this to the ‘post_date’ argument of the wp_insert_post() within the acf/save_post action.

The code would look like so:

<?php

function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
    
// Create post object
$my_post = array(
  'post_title'    => wp_strip_all_tags( $_POST['post_title'] ),
  'post_content'  => $_POST['post_content'],
  'post_status'   => 'publish',
  'post_author'   => 1,
  'post_date'     => $value //this can also be a normal date field value like so: $_POST['acf']['date_field_key']
);
 
// Insert the post into the database
wp_insert_post( $my_post );

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

?>
