Again thank you John. This is a side project and I can’t dedicate a lot of time to it now, but soon I’m going to break down the entire code and start over.
You were right that even a greater priority causes the same issue. I’ve tried using something like the below too:
if(isset($_POST['acf']['field_6001b1b8a2cff']) ) {
$new_title = $_POST['acf']['field_6001b1b8a2cff'];
}
But even then it works only on the backend since the front end still thinks there is no “old” value. I’ll figure this out eventually and post my results.
Hi John,
I appreciate your quick response. I did try ‘acf/save_post’; however this gives me an ArgumentCountError, the ACF documentation shows that acf/save_post does not work with the $post and $update parameters.
I’ve tried removing them but then I can’t update the post on the frontend. I’m close and will keep experimenting, but if you have any other suggestions, I’m all ears.
Finally figured it out and your explanation above was the answer. Thank you again.
Thank you John. I’m still struggling to get it work, but will fiddle around and when I figure it out get back to this thread.
I know this is an old post and was solved, but wanted to ask, what if the Events fields were in repeater fields? I tried to modify as below, but not getting the right results.
add_action('acf/save_post', 'save_event_update_address', 20);
function save_event_update_address($post_id) {
if (get_post_type($post_id) != 'events') {
// not and event post, bail
return;
}
// get location post ID
// you said it's a relationship field, a relationship field will turn an array of posts
// I am setting the 3rd parameter because we only need the IDs
$related_places = get_sub_field('relationship_field_name');
// also the
if ($related_places) {
$place_id = $related_places[0];
$address = get_field('address_field_on_place_name', $place_id);
update_sub_field('address_field_on_event_repeater_name, $address, $post_id);
}
}
