Hello,
I am trying to autogenerate the title and slug out of two custom fields within a custom post type.
The custom post type is: kuenstler
Custom field one: vorname-kuenstler
Custom field two: nachname-kuenstler
Title should be “vorname-kuenstler [space]nachname-kuenstler” and slug should be “vorname-kuenstler-nachname-kuenstler”
I have tried to follow the instruction within this thread, but I somehow cannot get it to work. I am using the latest release of ACF.
Has somebody a working solution, which she/he could share. That would be really great!!!

Hello,
I have tried the other recommendations but sadly failed to achieve the following.
I have the custom post type: “kuenstler” and the custom fields “vorname-kuenstler” and “nachname-kuenstler”.
I now try to achieve the auto-creation of the post title and slug from these two custom fields.
Title: “”vorname-kuenstler”[space]”nachname-kuenstler””
Slug: “vorname-kuenstler”-“nachname-kuenstler”
Could anybody give me a helping hand here?
That would be so great!
Thank you!!!
I have got it to work with the following code:
`
//Custom Title&Slug Künstler von ACF fields
function kuenstlerinnen_title_updater( $post_id ) {
$my_post = array();
$my_post[‘ID’] = $post_id;
$my_post[‘post_name’] = $post_name;
$kvorname = get_field(‘_kuenstlerinnen_vorname’);
$knachname = get_field(‘_kuenstlerinnen_ nachname’);
$vname = $kvorname .’ ‘. $knachname;
if ( get_post_type() == ‘kuenstlerinnen’ ) {
$my_post[‘post_title’] = $vname;
$my_post[‘post_name’] = sanitize_title( $title );
}
// Update the post into the database
wp_update_post( $my_post );
}
// run after ACF saves the $_POST[‘fields’] data
add_action(‘acf/save_post’, ‘kuenstlerinnen_title_updater’, 20);
