Would love to know as well. Seems trivial and yet not addressed in any of the docs
Would love to know as well. I find the documentation for the REST API very lacking.
Hi @roger,
I encountered exactly the same issue, and i’ve written a logic which does the following:
-gets the current logged in user id
-in a loop, get the id’s of all posts by that user
-checks whether this specific post id is created / allowed to be edited by that user
-if allowed, nothing happens, and edit form is loaded /
-if not allowed, exit() and redirect the user
here’s my code, please place it in the page in which your frontend form resides, after your “get_header()” or “wp_head()” (can’t run the loop before that):
$user_ID = get_current_user_id();
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'your_post_type',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_status' => 'any',
'author' => $user_ID
);
// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query($args);
// The Loop
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$posts_by_user = array();
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
$posts_by_user[] = get_the_ID();
}
} else {
//echo 'no posts found';
}
/* Restore original Post Data */
wp_reset_postdata();
// Check and redirect if needed
if (in_array($book_ID, $posts_by_user)) {
//echo "Post ID found in array";
} else {
$location = get_home_url();
$status = '302';
wp_redirect( $location, $status );
exit;
}
The code is checked and working, let me know if i can help in any other way.
I had a similar problem with ACF 4.2.2, then i updated to 4.3.0 and it was fixed. See here:
http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/authors-cant-upload-from-front-end-form/
After a few days, and i don’t know why, i was getting the same problem again. This time i found that TML’s Themed Profiles module is causing this (which is weird because it was activated before).
This thread solved my problem, and it might help you:

Hi,
I’m joining @Jaace request, “is there a way to make the file upload a drag-and-drop without triggering that modal popup so that it’s just on the page as a drag-and-drop uploader?”
Currently trying to integrate http://www.dropzonejs.com/ library with ACF. Has anyone had any experience with integrating dropzone or any other drag and drop js libraries with ACF?
Thanks and p.s thank you @elliot for this amazing plugin, really took my development to the next level. purchased all add-ons and will continue to do so 🙂
