Hi, great plugin, really nice work!

I’m building my own Form and when I post it how can I handle the information to populate ACF?

Is it possible or only displaying by its function?

Let’s be more objective:

FORM Front End:
<form action=”post-custom-type.php” >
<input type=”text” name=”post-title” />
<input type=”text” name=”post-description” />
<input type=”text” name=”post-question” /> <!– This is a ACF Field –>
</form>

How can I post it to database please?

Thanks a lot, I’ve run through all the forum and I couldn’t find a solution.

Hi @Zarausto

To insert a value into the db, please use the update_field function. You can read about it here:

Please note that this is a PHP function, so your form must submit and then allow PHP to interact with eh $_POST data

Thanks
