Hi, I’m building a frontend-form and I need to create the fields by hand.
I’m able to do this by calling acf_form(array(‘fields’ => array(‘field1′,’field2’),
The problem is that when the field gets created, it has its internal name:
<input id=”acf-field_5644ca0ecae0b” class=”” type=”text” placeholder=”” value=”” name=”acf[field_5644ca0ecae0b]”>
How could I have them loaded with the name I assigned ?
Thanks!
The input names of ACF fields cannot be changed. Doing so would prevent ACF from saving the values when the form is submitted.
I’ve found a workaround/cheat for this.
You can create the form as usual, export it as json, modify the field keys in the json, save and import them 🙂
Are you using acf 4 or 5. In 5 the field keys must begin with “field_”, while you can change the field keys as outlined above, doing so will break ACF5.
