Hi @leuchterits

I’ve attached the JSON export of the field group I used to create the new user. If you use the free version, please check the settings defined in the file. Here’s the acf_form() code I used to show the form:

acf_form(array(
    'post_id' => 'new_post',
    'new_post' => array(
        'post_type' => 'post',
        'post_status' => 'draft'
    ),
));

And this here’s the code I used in the functions.php file:

function my_acf_save_user( $post_id ) {
    
    if( wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) || is_admin() ) {
        return;
    }
    
    // get the user name field
    $first_name = get_field('first_name', $post_id);
    
    // get the user name field
    $last_name = get_field('last_name', $post_id);
    
    if ( $first_name && $last_name ) {
        // create the user
        wp_create_user( $first_name . "_" . $last_name, bin2hex(random_bytes(16)) );
        
        // delete the unused post
        wp_delete_post($post_id);
    }
    
}

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

If you think this is essential for your website but you’re unable to make it work, I suggest you hire a developer to help you out with it, and I’d recommend looking for one on https://studio.envato.com/ or https://www.upwork.com/.

I hope this helps 🙂
