It is pretty weird huh? I’m absolutely weirded out by this one…

Okay, the save_post action is commented out and the following debugging statements were added to acf_form_head (results below);

function acf_form_head()
{
    // global vars
    global $post_id;

    // verify nonce
    if( isset($_POST['acf_nonce']) && wp_verify_nonce($_POST['acf_nonce'], 'input') )
    {
        var_dump($post_id); // OUTPUT: NULL

        // $post_id to save against
        $post_id = $_POST['post_id'];

        var_dump($post_id); // OUTPUT: string(3) "new"

        // allow for custom save
        $post_id = apply_filters('acf/pre_save_post', $post_id);

        var_dump($post_id); // OUTPUT: NULL

        die();

        // save the data
        do_action('acf/save_post', $post_id);

        // ...
    }

    // ...
}
