Hi!
I’m using an acf_form to have a user create a post, which works no problem. But when the user needs to edit the post info, it shows the acf_form but all the fields are empty, causing the user to have to reinput everything all over again. Is there a way to have the fields populated with the previously inputted info when they edit?
Here’s my acf_form code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Preferred Agent Form
*/
acf_form_head();
get_header();
?>
<div class="fl-content-full container">
<div class="row">
<div class="fl-content col-md-12">
<?php
acf_form(array(
'post_id' => 'new_post',
'post_title' => true,
'field_groups' => array(555),
'form' => true,
'html_before_fields' => '',
'html_after_fields' => '',
'submit_value' => 'Submit Information', 'acf',
'updated_message' => 'Saved!',
'honeypot' => true,
// 'return' => add_query_arg( 'updated', 'true', home_url() ),
'new_post' => array(
'post_type' => 'preferred_agent',
'post_status' => 'pending'
)
));
?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Any help on this would be awesome. Thanks!
Hello:
Once the post has been created, to allow the user to edit the data instead of passing “new_post” as the value for post_id you need to pass the id of the post. When the post id is passed, the form will load the existing data for editing.
Hope this is helpful!
