Ok, I’ve figured out the author bit, because I needed to use the ID. I’m still stuck on the taxonomy

$options = array(
	'post_id'			=> 'new_post',
	'post_title'			=> true,
	'new_post'			=> array(
		'post_type'		=> 'my-cpt',
		'post_status'		=> 'publish',
		'post_author'		=> $user_id  // Where $user_id is a number
		'tax_input'		=> array('my_taxonomy' => $taxo_id), // Not working
	),
	'field_groups'			=> array(
		1234
	),
	'submit_value' 			=> __("Add CPT", 'acf'),
	'updated_message' 		=> __("CPT Added", 'acf'),
	'uploader'			=> 'wp'
);
acf_form($options);

Regarding the taxonomy, I’ve read this thread:

acf_form, new_post, tax_input requires to be logged in

– and –

Using ‘tax_input’ with wp_insert_post() and nothing happens

…so it seems that the user needs permission to assign taxonomies – OR – I need to use wp_set_object_terms() using acf/save_post. I’ve increased permissions, which appears to have worked, but I am curious if there’s a way to do this via wp_set_object_terms() so I don’t have to increase permissions.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
