Cannot get ACF Form to save, using Genesis

I’ve got a page template created for an ACF form, and it’s populating the form with all the ACF fields connected to the custom post type that I’ve designated in acf_form().

However, no Custom Post is getting created when I fill out the form.

I then realized I’d forgotten to add acf_form_head(); in my page template.

However, I’m using the Genesis framework, and I’m not clear on how to add this function.

My latest version looks like this:

add_action( ‘genesis_init’, ‘shs_add_acf_head_functions’ );
function shs_add_acf_head_functions() {
acf_form_head();
}

but I’ve been trying all the hooks I could find that should be preceding get_header(), namely genesis_pre and genesis_pre_framework. But none are working.

Hoping someone knows if I’m on the right track and which hook to use – or perhaps I’m completely off track…

And of course, soon after posting, I find the answer.

For those interested, it was the genesis_meta hook that I needed:

add_action( ‘genesis_meta’, ‘shs_add_acf_head_functions’ );
function shs_add_acf_head_functions() {
acf_form_head();
}

Now the form is working properly and generating the Custom Post.
