Hi @officialsabbirr

I hope you are having an awesome 2018 so far.

The first thing we will need to establish is whether you have the acf_form_head() function at the very top of your page template. The post id that you are passing also suggests that you are trying to modify a certain post, is this right?

Perhaps you could share the complete code that you have in your page template so that I can advise further?

Hello James,

Happy new year.

Thanks for your message. I’m using Advanced Custom Fields plugin to create some extra fields in WordPress User Profile. I want to update those user fields in frontend.
This code is displaying all the ACF fields in a form. But they are not updating in the current logged in user profile. When I click on Update button all the fields should be updated in current logged in user profile.

I have sunglass online selling website. that’s why i need customer glasses prescription info. so i created prescription form for my customer. customer can submit all proscription details via ACF. this form show into the checkout page.

Prescription form Screenshot : http://prntscr.com/hv3rmn

Now i see the update button , but when i click to update it’s show me error.

Here is the error screenshot : http://prntscr.com/hv3s31

NB: This form show only for user . who registered the site.

Here is the full code:
<?php acf_form_head(); ?>

<?php $options = array(
	    'post_id' => 'user_'.$current_user->ID,
	    'field_groups' => array(9871),
	    'form' => true, 
	    'return' => add_query_arg( 'updated', 'true', get_permalink() ), 
	    'html_before_fields' => '',
	    'html_after_fields' => '',
	    'submit_value' => 'Update' 
	);
	acf_form( $options );
?>

I am not good with coding. so please help me. thank you again.
