I’m feeling pretty dense right about now. Honestly, I’m trying to get this figured out, and have looked at the links you’ve sent and tried a ridiculous number of combinations of things. But now the title isn’t working at all.
I removed the section from functions that you said was no longer necessary. Replaced it with what’s below.
The new title shows properly in the body of the resulting post page, but it isn’t reflected as either the title or the slug. So, for instance, the latest new post from this form resulted in a slug of “vbsform/3024-2/”, instead of “vbsform/title-start_date/”
Functions.php
//Auto add and update Title field:
function vbs_post_title_updater( $post_id ) {
// get the church name
$new_title_church_name = get_field('church_name', $post_id);
// get the selected date and the current date
$new_title_date = get_field('start_date', $post_id);
$new_title_date = new DateTime($new_title_date);
// set the title
$new_title = $new_title_church_name . ' - ' . $new_title_date->format('M j, Y');
// create the update data holder
$vbs_post = array();
$vbs_post['ID'] = $post_id;
$vbs_post['title'] = $new_title;
//Unhook function to prevent infitnite looping
remove_action('acf/save_post', 'vbs_post_title_updater', 20);
//Rehook function to prevent infitnite looping
add_filter('acf/save_post', 'vbs_post_title_updater', 20);
}
// run after ACF saves the $_POST['fields'] data
add_action('acf/save_post', 'vbs_post_title_updater', 20);Form Page
