It looks like sometime recently a new parameter was added to the acf_form() function called ‘new_post’ which allows the input of an array of parameters that match up to wp_update_post().
This is GREAT!
However, when I use this functionality I get this error while debugging:
“Warning: array_merge(): Argument #1 is not an array in /home4/cummings/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/core/api.php on line 1185”
When I look at that section of the API I notice that it is the defaults array for the acf_form() options, however it does NOT include a default for the ‘new_post’ parameter. If I add ‘new_post’ => array(), to that array, the error disappears.
Original ACF API code:
// defaults
$defaults = array(
'post_id' => false,
'field_groups' => array(),
'form' => true,
'form_attributes' => array(
'id' => 'post',
'class' => '',
'action' => '',
'method' => 'post',
),
'return' => add_query_arg( 'updated', 'true', get_permalink() ),
'html_before_fields' => '',
'html_after_fields' => '',
'submit_value' => __("Update", 'acf'),
'updated_message' => __("Post updated", 'acf'),
);
My version:
// defaults
$defaults = array(
'post_id' => false,
'new_post' => array(),
'field_groups' => array(),
'form' => true,
'form_attributes' => array(
'id' => 'post',
'class' => '',
'action' => '',
'method' => 'post',
),
'return' => add_query_arg( 'updated', 'true', get_permalink() ),
'html_before_fields' => '',
'html_after_fields' => '',
'submit_value' => __("Update", 'acf'),
'updated_message' => __("Post updated", 'acf'),
);
