Hi @5vlast

Looks like you are missing a semi-colon after post_id

Hello Elliot thanks for the replay here what’s going on in function.php
when

	/* if( $post_id != 'new' )
    {
        return $post_id;
    }*/
 

is active i mean without the /* the form not saving but with it active it’s not saving but i think the $post id is important for the next function which it’s for the post_title which it’s also not working

add_action('save_post', 'modify_post_title');

	function modify_post_title($post_id) {
		
		 if ( defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) 
          return;
		
		 if ( ! wp_is_post_publish( $post_id ) ) {
		 		
		 
		 if('taxirent' == get_post_type($post_id) ) {
		 	
				$post_title = the_field('munf', $post_id) .' : '. the_field('price', $post_id);
				
				
		
			
		 } 
	
	}
		 
		 if('acf' != get_post_type($post_id)) {
		 if ($post_title == '') { $post_title = $_POST['post_title'];}
		 remove_action('save_post', 'modify_post_title');
		 $arg = array();
				$arg['ID'] = $post_id;
				$arg['post_title'] = $post_title;
				wp_update_post( $arg );
				add_action('save_post', 'modify_post_title');
		 }
	} 

and when load page which it’s content the form

<?php
/*
Template Name: Add Ads
*/
?>
<?php 
acf_form_head();
get_header();
?>
			<?php get_sidebar('top'); ?>
			
			
<?php
   if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
     
	 
    $args = array(
        'post_id' => '!new',
        'field_groups' => array(153),
    );
     
    acf_form( $args );
  
   } else {
   	echo 'вы не можете получить доступ к этой странице';
   }
?>
			
			<?php get_sidebar('bottom'); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

the form fields are not empty i mean it’s not giving a new post id what i am missing

Hi @5vlast

Looks like your if statement:

if( $post_id != 'new' )
    {
        return $post_id;
    }

will fail becuase your post_id is never going to be ‘new’, it will always be ‘!new’.

I believe some debugging is needed to figure out the issue and get it working. Debug line by line and ask yourself why it isn’t working.

Good luck!
