function my_acf_save_post_change_author( $post_id ) {
// Get the company’s user ID (depends on how you set it)
$company_id = 2;
// Only do this if posted from front end
if( !is_admin() ){
// Get the post object
$the_post = get_post($post_id);
// Check the post type
if( $the_post->post_type == ‘message’ ){
// Set the data you want to update
$my_post = array(
‘ID’ => $post_id,

// Remove action to avoid infinite loop
remove_action(‘acf/save_post’, ‘my_acf_save_post_change_author’, 20);
// Update the post into the database
wp_update_post( $my_post );
