Pre-populated fields problem

  • Hello I’m having a very annoying issue with front end posting, the form is always pre-populated with the last posted values, I’ve tried autofilled =’off’ attribute and it still doesn’t work, when I change “post_id = ‘new’ to ‘new_post’ it works but the title dosen’t get insert in the database anymore, i’m using the latest acf pro,any idea? Here’s the front end code from a tutorial, thank you:

    add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'tsm_do_create_post_form' );
    function tsm_do_create_post_form() {
    
    	// Bail if not logged in or able to post
    	if ( ! ( is_user_logged_in()|| current_user_can('publish_posts') ) ) {
    		echo 'You must be a registered author to post.
    ';
    		return;
    	}
    
    	$new_post = array(
    		'post_id'            => 'new', // Create a new post
    		// PUT IN YOUR OWN FIELD GROUP ID(s)
    		'field_groups'       => array(00000), // Create post field group ID(s)
    		'form'               => true,
    		'return'             => '%post_url%', // Redirect to new post url
    		'html_before_fields' => '',
    		'html_after_fields'  => '',
    		'submit_value'       => 'Submit Post',
    		'updated_message'    => 'Saved!'
    	);
    	acf_form( $new_post );
    
    }
    
    
    
    add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'tsm_do_pre_save_post' );
    function tsm_do_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
    
    	// Bail if not logged in or not able to post
    	if ( ! ( is_user_logged_in() || current_user_can('publish_posts') ) ) {
    		return;
    	}
    
    	// check if this is to be a new post
    	if( $post_id != 'new' ) {
    		return $post_id;
    	}
    
    	// Create a new post
    	$post = array(
    		'post_type'     => 'post', // Your post type ( post, page, custom post type )
    		'post_status'   => 'publish', // (publish, draft, private, etc.)
    		'post_title'    => wp_strip_all_tags($_POST['acf']['field_xxxxxxxxxxxx']), // Post Title ACF field key
    
    	);
    
    	// insert the post
    	$post_id = wp_insert_post( $post );
    
    	// Save the fields to the post
    	do_action( 'acf/save_post' , $post_id );
    
    	return $post_id;
    
    }
  • I’ve renamed my fields and it did the trick…

  • I had this issue. I ended up clearning _new_ fields from wp_options table and that also worked.

  • I had to delete all the “new_” fields from wp_options but they keep getting generated (for select fields). Do you know what is causing this ?
