Hello,

I got a front end thanks to ACF pro plugin. In a field of a form I set “Field Type : Taxonomy” and by default it selects a specific category (I don’t know why). I wish to change it. So I have add this code (Without success) :

add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'tsm_do_create_post_form' );
function tsm_do_create_post_form() {
$new_post = array(
'post_id'            => 'new', // Create a new post
'field_groups'       => array('group_54dfc93792c38', 'group_56afa46678eb3', 'group_56afa46adc147', 'group_569a815405075', 'group_56ab8bb40edcc', 'group_56bdf6aa906e1'), // Create post field group ID(s)
'form'               => true,
'return'             => '%post_url%', // Redirect to new post url
'html_before_fields' => '',
'html_after_fields'  => '',
'submit_value'       => 'Poster',
'updated_message'    => 'Saved!'
);
acf_form( $new_post );

// Catégorie
add_filter( 'acf/load_value/key=field_54dfccb977a11', 'vivi_load_post_category', 10, 3 );
}

function vivi_load_post_category( $value, $post_id, $field ) {
$term_ids = array(71);
return $term_ids;
}

Do you have a solution to select another category by default ?

try the load field filter instead

add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_54dfccb977a11', 'vivi_load_post_category');
function vivi_load_post_category($field) {
  $field['default_value'] = array(71);
  return $field;
}

Thank you , unfortunately it is still not functional

add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'tsm_do_create_post_form' );
function tsm_do_create_post_form() {
	// Bail if not logged in or able to post
	if ( ! ( is_user_logged_in()|| current_user_can('publish_posts') ) ) {
		echo do_shortcode( '[wppb-login] ' );
		return;
	}
	$new_post = array(
		'post_id'            => 'new', // Create a new post
		'field_groups'       => array('group_54dfc93792c38', 'group_56afa46678eb3', 'group_56afa46adc147', 'group_569a815405075', 'group_56ab8bb40edcc', 'group_56bdf6aa906e1'), // Create post field group ID(s)
		'form'               => true,
		'return'             => '%post_url%', // Redirect to new post url
		'html_before_fields' => '',
		'html_after_fields'  => '',
		'submit_value'       => 'Poster',
		'updated_message'    => 'Saved!'
	);
	acf_form( $new_post );
	
	// Catégorie
	add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_54dfccb977a11', 'vivi_load_post_category');
}

function vivi_load_post_category($field) {
  $field['default_value'] = array(72);
  return $field;
}

This

add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_54dfccb977a11', 'vivi_load_post_category');

and this

function vivi_load_post_category($field) {
  $field['default_value'] = array(72);
  return $field;
}

need to go into your functions.php file. It needs to be run when ACF loads fields and placing them where you have that will not happen.

Yes ! It wad the problem since the begining. At final I change the code in

add_action( 'get_header', 'tsm_do_logged_in_author_checks' );
function tsm_do_logged_in_author_checks() {

	// Bail if not logged in or able to post
	if ( ! ( is_user_logged_in()|| current_user_can('publish_posts') ) ) {
		echo do_shortcode( '[wppb-login] ' );
		return;
	}

	// Add required acf_form_head() function to head of page
	add_action( 'get_header', 'tsm_do_acf_form_head', 1 );
	
	//Deregister the admin styles outputted when using acf_form
	add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'tsm_deregister_admin_styles', 999 );
	
	// Add the acf_form
	add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'tsm_do_create_post_form' );
	
	// Catégorie
	add_filter( 'acf/load_value/key=field_54dfccb977a11', 'vivi_load_post_category');
}

and this

// Load défault categorie
function vivi_load_post_category($field) {

	// get Impro & Paris
	$term_ids = array(28,72);

	// return
	return $term_ids;
}

It’s working perfectly.
Thanks a lot John.
