I cannot use ACF update_field() to insert a new post on install. update_post_meta works fine. I can insert images and even see them in my custom columns. I cannot get anything to work using update_field();
How do I?
a. Get update_field() to work
b. Display my updated fields in my custom columns
Any help would be much appreciated.

my plugin`function newplugin_install() {
$pid = array(
//'ID' => 22,

// INSERT Featured Image
);
// Save the Exhibitor
$insert = wp_insert_post($pid);
// a.

// update_post_meta($insert, 'url', 'www.google.co.uk' );

update_field('field_1', 11, $insert );
update_field('field_3', 'www.google.co.uk', $insert );
update_field('field_4', '[email protected]', $insert );
update_field('field_5', '(0141) 123 4567', $insert );
// INSERT ACF Image Type ???
//update_field($insert, 'logo', 173 );
}`
My columns`case 'stand' :
/* Get the post meta. */
$stand = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'stand', true );
//$stand = get_field('stand');
/* If no Stand Number is found, output a default message. */
if ( empty( $stand ) ) {
echo __( $stand );
} else {
/* If there is a Stand Number, prepend # to the text string. */
$standno = sprintf('%02d', $stand);
//$standno = “hey”;
echo “#” .__( $stand );
}
break;`
