  • Adding my validation and non-acf fields update code into the ‘acf/save_post’ (pre) has resolved my issue. Thank you gentlemen for your help!

  • Haha … yes definitely have a custom <form> with a method="post" !
    It was working fine before I added the acf_form() and the acf_form_head()!
    I was expecting to have to save the ‘acf’ data as you described above.

    I’ll cobble together a concise full example and post here if I’m still running into issues.
    Thanks again

  • Thanks again for your help.

    I placed the code above into my functions.php file, but the event doesn’t seem to be firing. Neither am I getting anything coming through in the $_POST(‘acf’)

    Turns out it is only saving my acf fields data, and is no longer saving my other meta data now. When I click the ‘Submit’ button, it now seems to coming back as a GET request method????? Maybe the acf_form_head() is redirecting again once it has save the ACF fields it knows about, so it’s never getting to my POST processing code?

    I need to do some more testing I think… will post an update once I have figured out whats going on.

  • Thanks for your reply – that’s been really helpful and I’ve pretty much got it working as I need to now. It was a nice surprise to find that the acf field data seems to be saved automatically without having to program manually. However, I don’t seem to be getting anything POSTed in the $_POST(‘acf’) array. I wondered if it was because I was running the free version (v4)? I have now upgraded to Pro (v5) and it still doesn’t seem to bring anything through. Is there an additional setting in acf_form() options that I have to set?
