Frontend Fields data not getting saved

Hi
I have a car listing website and I want the user to submit listing from the frontend. For that purpose, I’m using a plugin called “WPAdverts – Classifieds Plugin” but the plugin doesn’t provide fields I wanted so for that I’m using ACF to add required fields. I added the fields and fields are working fine from the backend(like saving value) but when I’m showing these fields on the frontend after input data when I’m publishing a post the values of these fields are NULL

I followed the following tutorial and fields are showing correctly but on submitting value is Null

Can you please tell me why the values are not getting saved?

If I understand what you’re doing, you are trying to add fields to an already existing form. To do this you need to set the acf_form() argument 'form' => false.
