Hi

I am using this to create new custom posts.

http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/using-acf_form-to-create-a-new-post/

I have 2 templates with different forms, and creating different custom posts.

The code below is from functions.php and it needs to be different depending on which form is sent.

// Create a new post
$post = array(
    'post_status'  => 'publish' ,
    'post_title'  => $_POST["acf"]['the_field_i_get_post_title_from'] ,
    'post_type'  => 'my custom post type' ,        
); 

I hope this makes sense, I am having a hard time explaining it.

Best regards
Sonny

Hi @sonnyside,

Thanks for the post.

In this use case it is recommended to call the acf_form() function from within each template to create different posts depending on the template.

Another workaround would be to create a new post_id for the post by hooking into the acf/save_post hook.

I hope this info helps.
