I have been looking everywhere on options to load specific fields for new posts – eg using Flexible Content fields for blog posts, when the user creates a New Post, there are not fields shown.. and new users are not sure what to start with. So, I want to load the WYSIWYG editor layout when they create a New Post.
Here is how to do that:
// flexible_content below, is the name of the Flexible Content field
add_filter('acf/load_value/name=flexible_content', 'add_fields', 10, 3);
function add_fields($value, $post_id, $field) {
if ($value !== NULL) { // $value will only be empty for New Posts
return $value;
}
// lead layouts
$value = array(
array(
'acf_fc_layout' => 'heading'
),
array(
'acf_fc_layout' => 'wysiwyg_editor' // wysiwyg_editor is the name of the layout
)
);
return $value;
}
Is “flexible_content” the name of the flex field?
add_filter('acf/load_value/name=flexible_content', 'add_fields', 10, 3);
or are you trying to do this for all flex fields. In this case you probably want to use the field type variation of the hook
acf/load_value/type={$type}
Yes, “flexible_content” is the name of the flex field I’m wanting to load when a new post or page is created.
My code solves the issue, I was posting in case anyone else was trying to do the same, but there is no option to mark it as a solution. 🙂
Sorry, I misread your post. I thought you were having an issue.
All good! I appreciate the reply.
