Post created from frontend forms are not persisted

Hi,

I’m trying to use ACF on the frontend for the first time.

I can successfully display the form but nothing is persisted when I submit the form.

Am I responsible for actually taking the form information and persisting it?

This is what I currently have to add the header code and then to display the form:

function add_acf_code_to_add_event_page() {
    if( is_single( 1450 ) ){
        acf_form_head();
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'add_acf_code_to_add_event_page' );

// Show Event add form
function add_event_form( ) {
    
    if(is_user_logged_in()){

        $options = array(
            'post_id'		=> 'new_post',
            'post_title'	=> true,
            'post_content'	=> false,
            'new_post'		=> array(
                'post_type'		=> 'client-events',
                'post_status'	=> 'publish'
            ),
            'submit_value'	=> 'Submit Event',
            'uploader'      => 'basic',
            'honeypot'      => true,
            'updated_message' => __("Thanks for your submission", 'baadier'),
        );

        acf_form( $options );
    
    } else {
        return 'Please log in to add a new event';
    }

}

Thanks!

User error..

The following changes resolved my issues:

function add_acf_code_to_add_event_page() {
    if( is_page( 1450 ) ){
        acf_form_head();
    }
}
add_action( 'get_header', 'add_acf_code_to_add_event_page' );
