Field is not automatically saved using update_field and wp_insert_post

Hi everyone,

Sorry my mistakes in english, but I’m quite concerned about this problem.

When I create a new post using the two functions above and do a query using get_field that field does not appear.

I must go to the newly created post and tighten to update post so that the field is available in the query.

How should I proceed so that everything runs as reported in the last function found on this page: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/functions/update_field/ ?

My code:

// Cria um novo Arquivo, se houver dados via $_POST
		$my_post = array(
				'post_title'    => $_POST['file_title'],
				'post_content'  => $_POST['file_desc'],
				'post_status'   => 'publish',
				'post_author'   => $current_user->ID,
				'post_category' => $cats,
				'post_type'		=> 'arquivo'
		);
		$post_created = wp_insert_post( $my_post );
			
		// Relaciona o Arquivo criado ao Evento indicado via $_GET
		update_field( "evento", $eventoid, $post_created );

I forgot my loop:

<ul>
		<?php query_posts(array( 'post_type' => 'arquivo' ) ); ?>
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
			<?php 
			/*
			 * Caso o campo Evento informado no Arquivo seja igual o evento
			 * informado via URL, busca-se todos os arquivos (mídias) a esse Arquivo
			 */ 
			$_evento = get_field('evento');
			if($_evento != ""){
				
				if($_evento == $eventoid){
					$args = array(
						'post_type' => 'attachment',
						'numberposts' => null,
						'post_status' => null,
						'post_parent' => $post->ID
					);
					$attachments = get_posts($args);
	
					if(count($attachments) > 0 ){
						foreach ($attachments as $file){
							if ( $last_id = get_post_meta($file->ID, '_edit_last', true) ) {
								$last_user = get_userdata($last_id);
							}
							else{
								$last_user = get_userdata($file->post_author);
							} ?>
							<li>
								<?php echo date("d.m.Y", strtotime($file->post_modified)); ?>
								<span>Última alteração feira por: <?php echo $last_user->display_name;?></span> 
								<a href="<?php echo $file->guid?>" title="<?php echo $file->post_title?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $file->post_title?></a>
								<p><?php echo $file->post_content;?></p>
							</li>
							<?php }					
					}
				}
			} ?>
		<?php endwhile;?>
	</ul>

The post title, content… is show but the field ‘evento’ NOT.

Thank´s for replay (what????).

If someone have the same problem must specify the field KEY.

I changed update_field( "evento", $eventoid, $post_created );
for update_field( "field_my_field_key", $eventoid, $post_created );

Hi @roneclay

Yesterday I was unable to respond to support tickets.

Yes, as explained in the update_field documentation, the fiel key must be used instead of the field name (if you do not already have a reference value saved for that post).

Thanks
