I have a fresh WP install and am working with an ACF front end form (I’ve used ACF before but this is my first time using a front end ACF form). Everything is working but it’s posting twice.
I’m adding the code via a custom plugin I created just for this, using a shortcode on the page. Below is the code I am using that posts the entry twice. Any ideas what could be causing this?
<?php
// Show ACF Form On Front End Via ShortCode
// Info from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSIc7rnZ2U0
// Code to show form
add_action('init', 'brandpage_form_head');
function brandpage_form_head() {
acf_form_head();
}
// Function for the shortcode
function bwp_acf_form_function($attr) {
// If ACF isn't running then exit
if (!function_exists('acf_form')) {
return;
}
// Buffer data instead of outputting it
ob_start();
// Unique form ID to avoid conflicts
$form_id = 'bwp-acf-form-' . uniqid();
// Debug: Log form ID and request data
error_log('Rendering ACF Form with ID: ' . $form_id);
error_log('Request data: ' . print_r($_REQUEST, true));
// Display ACF form
acf_form(array(
'id' => $form_id,
'post_id' => 'new_post',
'new_post' => array(
'post_type' => 'daily-message',
'post_status' => 'draft',
),
'field_groups' => array($attr['field_group_id']),
'post_title' => false, // False to auto-populate
'post_content' => false, // False to not use for content
'submit_value' => __("Add CSCC Daily Messenger Info", 'acf'),
'updated_message' => __("Daily Messenger Post Added", 'acf'),
'return' => '', // Redirect URL after saving (empty string means no redirect)
'html_after_fields'=> '<input type="hidden" name="my_form_nonce" value="' . wp_create_nonce('my_form_nonce_action') . '">', // Add nonce for security
));
// Empty the buffer data
return ob_get_clean();
}
// Add the shortcode
add_shortcode('bwp_acf_form', 'bwp_acf_form_function');
?>
