FrontEnd Forms works locally, but not live

Ive just transferred a local multisite install on to a single install on to a live server, following instructions here.

However, every front end form is now broken and doesnt create new posts properly.

Here’s the code im using:

<?php function my_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
	// check if this is to be a new post
	if( $post_id != 'new_post_name' ) {

		return $post_id;

	}
      // Create a new post
      $post = array(
      	'post_status'  => 'publish' ,
      	'post_type'		=> 'acquisitions',
   		//Use the ACF fields to create the title or any other field.
      	'post_title'  => 'Acquisition' . ' ' . current_time( 'd-m-Y', $gmt = 0 ),
      );  

      // insert the post
      $post_id = wp_insert_post( $post );
   	 // return the new ID
   	 return $post_id;
    }

add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post', 1, 1 ); ?>

<?php acf_form(array(
											 'post_id' => 'new_post_name',
											 'id' => 'acf-form',
											 'field_groups' => array('869'),
											 'return' => '%post_url%',
											 'submit_value'		=> 'Create Post'
										 )); ?>

And this is the post it creates in the Custom Post Type (unable to edit/delete it either):

Everything does work fine and as expected locally, just not live. Any ideas why?

Thanks

Hi @miked89

That is quite odd.

Kindly check the ensure that the field groups ID as the same.

If the issue is persistent, do open a support ticket as [email protected]

Cheers.
