Hi,

I am new to wordpress (10 years of joomla) and i am getting to like it. I hope the wordpress community is as nice as the joomla is. I have the followin issue.

I have created some fields and in the back end it saves fine when submitting a listing (property).

When i want to submit through the front-end is does save the new listing but it does not save the field created with ACF.

Here is my normal template file:

`<?php
/**
* Template Name: Submit Listing
*
* @package WP Real Estate 6
* @subpackage Template
*/

global $ct_options;

$inside_page_title = get_post_meta($post->ID, “_ct_inside_page_title”, true);

submit_listing();

get_header();

if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>
<?php if($inside_page_title == “Yes”) { ?>
<div id=”page-header”>
<div class=”container”>
<h2 class=”left”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php ct_breadcrumbs(); ?>
<div class=”clear”></div>
</div>
</div>
<?php } ?>

<div class=”container marT30″>

<article class=”col span_12 first”>

<form action=”” id=”primaryPostForm” method=”POST” enctype=”multipart/form-data”>

<?php if ( $postTitleError != ” ) { ?>
<span class=”error”><?php echo $postTitleError; ?></span>
<div class=”clearfix”></div>
<?php } ?>

<div class=”col span_6 first”>

<div class=”input-full-width”>
<label><?php _e(‘Address’, ‘contempo’); ?></label>

</div>

<?php ct_search_form_select(‘property_type’); ?>

Old question and you’ve probably moved on by now and I don’t know if this will help anyone, but.

acf_form() can’t be used inside an already existing form like this. For this you’d need to use some other functions that are not in the documentation. For something like this I would suggest starting by looking at how acf_form renders the field group, follow the code. Then if you have specific questions about getting it to work start a new topic.
