I tried to use the following code to create a new post with acf_form()
. The first example is working, and the second is not. Specifically, the second example refreshes the page and then spits all of the ACF postdata into a get variable at the end of the URL, including the nonce. The post is also not successfully created.
The offending lines of code are the new post_attributes setting in the acf_form()
function. I wanted to set a custom class for the form, which is what broke it. Is this a bug or am I using this wrong perhaps?
Here is an example of the URL I get after submitting the second example: (sorry for the broken-looking code box)

Working:(without form_attributes set)
<?php
$newcampaign = array(
'id' => 'new-campaign-form',
'post_id' => 'new_post',
'new_post' => array(
'post_type' => 'campaign',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_title' => 'temp_title',
),
'post_title' => true,
//'form_attributes' => array(
//'class' => 'new-campaign-form',
//),
'field_groups' => array('27'),
'submit_value' => 'Create Campaign',
'return' => add_query_arg('finished','step2'),
);
acf_form($newcampaign); ?>
Not working:
<?php
$newcampaign = array(
'id' => 'new-campaign-form',
'post_id' => 'new_post',
'new_post' => array(
'post_type' => 'campaign',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_title' => 'temp_title',
),
'post_title' => true,
'form_attributes' => array(
'class' => 'new-campaign-form',
),
'field_groups' => array('27'),
'submit_value' => 'Create Campaign',
'return' => add_query_arg('finished','step2'),
);
acf_form($newcampaign); ?>
Thanks for the bug report. It seems that by customizing the form_attributes, the very important method="post"
is not being added to the form element!
I’ll do some testing and get this fixed ASAP
Thanks again for the bug report. This has now been fixed and an update will be out soon
Re: form_attributes: It would also seem that this also breaks the form validation if you place a custom named ‘id’ in the form_attributes.
Re form_attributes: When adding a custom class through this array, the acf code adds it’s own class of “acf-form” to the form class attribute. This causes an output issue within the class attribute as it doesn’t check for the added custom class.
Expected: <form class=”some_class acf-form” ….
Actual: <form class=”some_classacf-form” ….
Hi @ballyhoos
Thanks for the feebback. Looking at the code (api-template.php:1226) the ‘acf-form’ looks to be appended with a space:
$args['form_attributes']['class'] .= ' acf-form';
Is this the code you have in your version?
