Hi @trasyhoob

Your question is to vague for me to answer correctly.

Can you please elaborate?

Thanks

Hi @trasyhoob

Just to clarify, are you saying:

You have a front end form for editing a post. When you select a taxonomy value for this post, you would like ACF to load in any new field groups which now match (like in the wp-admin)?

I’m trying to do something similar I think. I need to insert a new post on the frontend. I’m doing something like the following:

acf_form(array(
     'post_id'=> 'new',
     'field_groups'=>array(123, $AllFieldgroupsAssignedToThisPostType)
     );

How can I get the field_groups assigned to the post type?

Hi @wullaski

This is possible by running the ACF location rule match functionality based on the current screen.

something like this should work:

<?php 

// get field groups
$filter = array(
	'post_type' => 'post',
	'post_id' => 0
);
$field_groups = array();
$options['field_groups'] = apply_filters( 'acf/location/match_field_groups', $field_groups, $filter );

?>

Note: this is based of the api.php -> acf_form function and has not been tested
