Hi John
Thanks for your reply.
There were two posts I found on acf about setting publication post date using acf date/time picker on the fontend. Another post I’ve found on stackexchange.

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/219036/acf-field-to-set-publish-date-post-duplication-upon-update
In any case – I have an acf form on the front end where the user creates a draft post. The form works fine and creates the draft post as required. However, I’d like to be able to include a date/time picker and have the selected date/time set as the post’s publication date. I tried using the following code but had no luck
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);
Any ideas?
Thanks
P
