Hey John, I was able to solve this by moving the ajax save completely into my own function. Here is the function in case anyone finds this later:
$('.acf-form').on('submit', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
// define the form data
let $form = $(e.target);
// submit the form
$.ajax({
url: window.location.href,
method: 'post',
data: $form.serialize(),
success: function(data) {
$("a.save").removeClass("saveActive");
$("a.save").addClass("saveComplete");
$("a.save i").removeClass('fa-spinner');
$("a.save i").addClass('fa-thumbs-up');
$("#saveText").html("Saved");
setTimeout(function(){
$("a.save").removeClass("saveComplete");
$("a.save i").removeClass('fa-thumbs-up');
$("a.save i").addClass('fa-save');
$("#saveText").html("Save");
}, 3000);
}
});
console.log("form submit 1");
});
I don’t know why it stopped working. Something about the e.preventDefault() stopping this:
acf.add_action('submit', function($form){
// old ajax code was in here
});
John, I know this thread has been dead for a bit but I have a question about the code snippet above- is there any way to force the post_status to future? I tried adding
'post_status' => 'future',
to the wp_update_post array but it still publishes the post on the date specified in the ACF field. I have been trying to figure out how to schedule a post with ACF for two weeks now and this is the closest I have gotten. Any help would be appreciated.
This worked like a charm. Feel free to delete this thread if you want.
