Hi,
I’m having a problem implementing this code and could do with a hand.
I have an ACF date/time selector field ‘post_date’ that I want to create publication date in new post
I have set date/time format to Y-m-d H:i:s
And I have put the following code into my functions.php

function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
	$acfDate = get_field('post_date', $post_id);
    //Test if you receive the data field correctly:
    //echo $acfDate;
    //exit (-1);
    $my_post = array();
    $my_post['ID'] = $post_id;
    $my_post['post_date'] = $acfDate;
    wp_update_post( $my_post );
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);

I have not set $post_id – is this the reason it is not working do you think? If so, how do i set post_id?

Thanks for your help
