Woohoo!

Thanks to your pointer, I found out that the theme I use as a boilerplate was probably causing the mess with the big scary error I got.

I have also done some more testing and I just discovered that the original problem I posted (which was: all of a sudden I can’t use autocomplete anymore on the post form), was caused by loading the javascript to the google maps api like this, in the footer:

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false">

I was loading the api in my theme’s footer.php file, and I have moved it to the actual page where I was using it. Problem solved!

If you have a moment I wouldn’t mind a brief explanation why this is, as I’d love to be educated a bit more.

Thanks for all the help!

Hi Elliot,

thanks for your prompt reply!

I retraced my steps on a clean (local) install; same problem.
I retraced my steps on a test wordpress site, and things worked as I wanted.
I then tried to retrace all the steps I took to create a form on my live site (in maintenance mode, it’s a bit of a mess) but now I get the following error when I submit a form from the front end:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /THEMENAME/page-full-width.php:8) in wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 899

page-full-width.php is the template where I call the acf_form_head, and the form. So basically just:

<?php 
acf_form_head();
get_header();
?>

and after some html markup

<?php 
$options = array( 							'post_id' => 'new', 							'field_groups' => array( 31 ),  
); 
if (is_user_logged_in()) { 
acf_form( $options ); 
}
?>

I don’t think the above code is incorrect?

In the functions.php I have the following:

function my_pre_save_post( $post_id )
{
    // check if this is to be a new post
    if( $post_id != 'new' )
    {
        return $post_id;
    } 

    // Create a new post
    $post = array(
        'post_status'  => 'draft' ,
        'post_title'  => $_POST["fields"]['field_528a8d1ae2674'],
        'post_type'  => 'custom_type',
        'post_content' => $_POST["fields"]['field_528a8d1fe2675']  
    );  
 
    // insert the post
    $post_id = wp_insert_post( $post ); 
 
    // update $_POST['return']
    $_POST['return'] = add_query_arg( array('post_id' => $post_id), $_POST['return'] );    
 
    // return the new ID
    return $post_id;
}
 
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post' );
 
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'my_deregister_styles', 100 ); 
function my_deregister_styles() {
    wp_deregister_style( 'wp-admin' );
}

The only fields I have set up in ACF to be used in the front-end form are title, content, and a map.

Hope this helps! I will keep on tryin’ 😉
