Hey there, I’d like to categorize and/or tag new posts created using acf_form.

Ideally, a user would pick a category from a select menu I’ve included in a field group. Below is my code. Any thoughts?

function my_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
    if ( $post_id != 'new' ) {
        return $post_id;
    }
    $post = array(
        'post_status' => 'draft',
        'post_title'  => $_POST['acf']['field_546f5d3ca98ab'],
        'post_category' => $_POST['acf']['field_546f5d3ca98ab'],
        'post_content' => $_POST['acf']['field_546f5d49a98ad'],
        'post_type' => 'post'
    );  
    $post_id = wp_insert_post($post); 
    $_POST['return'] = add_query_arg( array('post_id' => $post_id), $_POST['return'] );    
    return $post_id;
}
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post' );

I’ve tried a few different things, including matching up the options with the category id:

5 : Entertainment

But no luck. Any ideas?
