Post Doesn't Publish From Front End. Checked many times.

  • template.php:

    <?php /* Template Name: PostYourPrice */ ?>

    /* featured image */
    
    <?php
     
    function acf_set_featured_image( $value, $post_id, $field  ){
        
        if($value != ''){
    	    //Add the value which is the image ID to the _thumbnail_id meta data for the current post
    	    add_post_meta($post_id, '_thumbnail_id', $value);
        }
     
        return $value;
    }
    
    // acf/update_value/name={$field_name} - filter for a specific field based on it's name
    add_filter('acf/update_value/name=field_55036c9ec441e', 'acf_set_featured_image', 10, 3);
     
    ?>
    
    /* featured image */

    Featured image part doesn’t work either. I would greatly appreciate any help!

  • Refering to ACF doc (http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf_form/), your post_id value should be set to new_post :

    <?php $acf = array(
    	'post_id' => 'new_post',
    	'field_groups' => array(20),
    	'submit_value' => 'Submit'
    ); ?>	
  • Hi @tanz1r,

    Thanks for the post.

    Yes you can make use of the ‘new_post’ argument but please note that this is only available in the Pro version of the plugin.

    I have tried this code on my end and it works:

    function my_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
    	if ( $post_id !== 'new' ) {
    		return $post_id;
        }
        $post = array(
            'post_status' => 'draft',
            'post_title' => $_POST['fields']['field_55068a7990cc3'],
            'post_type' => 'events'
        );  
        $post_id = wp_insert_post($post); 
        $_POST['return'] = add_query_arg( array('post_id' => $post_id), $_POST['return'] );    
        return $post_id;
    }
    add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post' );
