  • Hello ACF Community,

    I believe I’ve found the solution on my own.

    I was using:
    add_action('publish_locations', 'duplicate_pages_for_new_location', 10, 2);

    The docs didn’t provide much low level information for new users, so I had to delve into the docs a bit more and decided to give this a try, which appears to work:
    add_action('acf/save_post', 'duplicate_pages_for_new_location');

    I hope this solution proves helpful!

    Thank you!
    Paul

  • Hi John,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I am using field keys for the update, and they update the database with the correct values, but I can’t get the values to link to the custom post type and show in Admin.

    Here’s a short version of what I’ve been doing. The whole script duplicates a number of pages and should add their respective field values.

    $new_page_id = wp_insert_post([
    'post_title' => $new_title,
    'post_name' => $new_slug,
    'post_content' => $original_page->post_content,
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'post_type' => 'page',
    'post_parent' => $parent_id,
  ]);

if ($new_page_id) {
  update_acf_field("field_652e5e0552a46", true, $new_page_id, "Is Duplicate");
  update_acf_field("field_652e5e2e52a47", $original_page_id, $new_page_id, "Page Id"); 
}

function update_acf_field($field_key, $value, $new_page_id, $description)
{
  $updated = update_field($field_key, $value, $new_page_id);
  error_log('-- SET ' . $value. ' - Updated: ' . ($updated ? "true" : "false"));
}

    I’m not sure how to proceed, or whether my approach is valid.

    Any further help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!
    Paul
