Hi @brotsky_pixie
With ACF PRO, you don’t need to use the acf/pre_save_post hook and wp_insert_post() function anymore. You can use the ‘new_post’ option and provide it with the wp_insert_post()‘s parameters instead. This page should give you more idea about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/using-acf_form-to-create-a-new-post/.
After that, you can change the title like this:
//Auto add and update Title field:
function my_post_title_updater( $post_id ) {
// get the church name
$new_title_church_name = get_field('curch_name_field', $post_id);
// get the selected date and the current date
$new_title_date = get_field('start_date', $post_id);
$new_title_current_date = new DateTime($new_title_date);
// set the title
$new_title = $new_title_church_name . ' - ' . $new_title_date . ' - ' . $new_title_date->format('M j, Y');
// create the update data holder
$my_post = array();
$my_post['ID'] = $post_id;
$my_post['title'] = $new_title;
//Unhook function to prevent infitnite looping
remove_action('acf/save_post', 'my_post_title_updater', 20);
// Update the post into the database
wp_update_post( $my_post );
//Rehook function to prevent infitnite looping
add_filter('acf/save_post', 'my_post_title_updater', 20);
}
// run after ACF saves the $_POST['fields'] data
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_post_title_updater', 20);
I hope this helps 🙂
