Hi @ryandorn
The acf/save_post hook will be executed everytime a post is saved. If you add an action in that hook, it will be executed after the post is saved. If you don’t know the concept of WordPress’ hook, here’s an article that explains it: http://wpcandy.com/teaches/how-to-use-wordpress-hooks/.
You can execute the wp_set_object_terms() function in that hook, so the terms will be added automatically when you saved a post. It should be something like this:
function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
// get the post object
$the_post = get_post($post_id);
// check if custom post type
if( $the_post->post_type == 'my-cpt' ) {
// add the term. Change 'true' to 'false' if you want to override it
wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, 'my-term-slug', 'my-taxonomy-slug', true );
}
}
// run after ACF saves the $_POST['acf'] data
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);
I hope this makes sense 🙂
