Front-end for saves post title but not ACF content

Hi, I’ve searched all over for an answer to this and I’m really struggling…

All I’d like to do is create a new custom post from a front end form, and save all the field content to the database.

Currently, the_title is saving, but none of the ACF content that I input on the front-end is saving.

Here is my code:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Submit Recipe
 */
acf_form_head();
get_header();
?>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php acf_form(array(
        'post_id' => 'new_post',
	'new_post' => array(
	'post_type'	=> 'recipes',
	'post_status' => 'publish'
    ),
    'post_title' => true,
    'submit_value' => 'Submit recipe'
 )); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

You may have something else that’s interfering with the save.

Try turning on debugging and see if you get any errors. Add the following to wp-config.php

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true );

You might also try deactivating other plugins on the site and possibly switching to the default WP theme to see if any of those are causing the issue.

Debug mode didn’t show anything up but I’ve worked out that it was clashing with a custom plugin that’s been developed.

Obvious test to do, thank you!
