Hello, is your plugin compatible with wordpress 604 and the latest version of WP Bakery?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, sorry for late response, It should work just fine, but I’ll try and get to you ASAP.
Hello, is this plugin supported … expecting updates any time? I searched the author online … website is down, FB page has no updates in over 2 years, etc.
Hi, th support is limited, for more details please email me at arifi.armedia@gmail.com
Hi
Is there a way I can change the label _post_title on the form please?
Thanks
Forget this, found the answer:
add_filter( 'acf/get_valid_field', 'change_input_labels');
function change_input_labels($field) {
if($field['name'] == '_post_title') {
$field['label'] = 'Entry Title';
}
return $field;
}
Hi, Good to know that you solved it !
Hi,
I’ve created a frontend form using your plugin, which you can see here: http://afdelingtest.nl/erfgoedvrijwilliger/vacature-plaatsen/.
However the searchbox for the Google Map isn’t working as intended. Any ideas?
Hi, can i have access to your site to check the form ?
How to get the shortcode of the form build ?
Hi, the shortcode is
[acf_front_form/]you can find all your needs in this doc https://acf-front-form-docs.readthedocs.io/en/release--1.1/src/add-form.html
Hi, have you added the ability to edit a post as a logged in user yet? We have a project where there will be different users adding listings via your frontend form but want to know if they would also be able to edit those listings when they are logged into their account?
Hi, we are working on it and many other features, but we are not sure to publish it on CodeCanyon, we would like to build our own selling system. If you give me you email i’ll be able to talk to you about this
thanks,you can email simon@virtualdesigns.co.za Do you know when it will be ready by?
Hi sure, you can email me at simon@virtualdesigns.co.za, it’s quite urgent as we need to finish the project this week coming so need to when you will be finished with the new version so it can allow for editing posts too. Please can you urgently let me know or we will have to develop this ourselves instead
Hi, i’ll email you
Hi, I am wondering if you have plans to support ACF Pro in the future? I purchased this without realizing that this wasn’t possible. I’m wondering if you have done this because of additional field types available? I have both ACF pro as well as compatible field types i have downloaded from Github (address, telephone, slider, etc.) Even if it is a catch-all field type that the user would then have to define some additional attributes and custom css to? please let me know
Hi, i’m not sure what do you mean, actually this plugin does support ACF Pro and all its fields, for other compatible fields we can not test them all and they should work if they are developed properly according to ACF field template. For the CSS, you can define the id or class in ACF settings (where you create/edit field) then add your own style in custom css panel (in them customization)
Let me know how i can help you
So I guess then what I need to know- is there a way I can get your product to work with my already installed ACF Pro. On a related note – have you looked at the ACF pro extended plugin – it’s free and it’s got a form related setup but I’m not nearly technical enough to figure out what to put in there
Hi, This plugin supports ACF Pro. it creates a form in front end and you can see the form while editing (the form is rendered when you add it into your page), you can read all features in the doc link here. For the extended plugin, i can take a look on it if you give me a link, and i’m confident that my plugin should support its fields if they are coded in ACF recomandations. Let me know if i’ve answered your questions or how i can help you.
Hi, I’m using some addons for Visual Composer. Will those addons also be perfectly integrated? Regards, TK
Hi, as for now we dont have issues related to other addons, this plugins should not create any conflicts, if so, we’ll be happy to fix them !
Hello, I made the purchase and installation of ACF Front Form plugin, but when activating it I get the error:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function vc_map() in /var/www/ps/dev/wp-content/plugins/acf_front_form/includes/class-acf_front_form-vc.php:244 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/ps/dev/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(286): Acf_front_form_VC->acf_front_form_vc_map(’’) #1 /var/www/ps/dev/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(310): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #2 /var/www/ps/dev/wp-includes/plugin.php(453): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 /var/www/ps/dev/wp-admin/admin.php(156): do_action(‘admin_init’) #4 /var/www/ps/dev/wp-admin/plugins.php(10): require_once(’/var/www/ps/dev…’) #5 {main} thrown in /var/www/ps/dev/wp-content/plugins/acf_front_form/includes/class-acf_front_form-vc.php on line 244
I tried to install the plugin “Visual Composer”, but I keep getting the same error. What should I do?
Hi, this is a common issue whith visual composer or wpbakery, can you please give me access to your admin site so i can debug it and fix it ?
Hi,
When activating plugin I get a white screen with error “There has been a critical error on your website.” Deleting plugin folder returns site to normal.
Hi, Sorry for desagrement, can you please let me check on your site to know the issue and fix it ?
Reupload sorted it. Now I need to figure how to add post title from the form?
Hi, just switch “On” the show title option in fields sections, please read the docs https://acf-front-form-docs.readthedocs.io/en/release--1.1/src/add-form.html#fields-settings
Thanks 
No problem 
Hi, I purchased this perfect plugin last year and i decide to start my project again. I could not solve this problem.
I can publish a new post on frontend, its ok no problem. I’m using also this plugin ( https://codecanyon.net/item/custom-page-templates-new-way-of-creating-custom-templates-in-wordpress/20133287 ) for any page/post design and adding load form for post edit but Everyone can see this “update form” and can edit that post. Only post author should see this form right? Why everyone can see and use… what i am missing?
Thanks
Hi, Thank you verry much ! can you please send me login to arifi.armedia@gmail.com so i can check when possible ?
Hi, Thanks your support reply, i sent e-mail now from “clynesr” mail…
Hi, i’ve checked your issue and understanded it, The plugin as is right now don’t have this feature ” display only for authors or cehcked roles ”. But this feature is actually done on next release, which will be if everry thing is well before the end of the year.
If you can’t wait, i’ll suggest you to hook the shortcode in wordpress to check the author id to display it or not.
Sincerely, Mourad
Hi, Thank you so much reply my e-mail. Yes, i pefer the wait next release if you finish end of this year. The release will be; only post author (the author role or capability also created by such as user role editor etc) will see form and edit post on fontend with your form. right?
Thank you …
Yes that’s the goal
Hi, just purchased your plugin and getting to grips with it.
Couple of questions, I cant seem to get the user field to work on the form, it just says The Results could not be loaded.
Secondly, the form does not load the tabs created in the field groups, they all load together.
Here is an example page: https://nomoresmalltalk.co/member-generated-systems/
Thanks for the support
Ignore me, i’m a fool. Post from a year ago said to clear cache and we are back in business.
Do you know how I can set a post category on a form submit on the front end? Also are we able to use a field name in the post title? Thank you
Hello ! I’m glad to know that you fixed it ! please feel free to leave some nice feedback !
You can set post category simply using the “Category” or “Taxonomy” field type. OR, you can define a list type and make some hook to set the category accordingly
<< A field name in the post title >> not sure what do you mean, if you want to “set the title using some fiald values” ? then yes but with some hooks too.
Let me know how i can help 
Mourad
Thanks Mourad, the issue I have is using the category taxonomy in the field list shows all possible categories. I only want to show the children of one category. If I was plumbing this manually into post templates, I could probably figure out how to do this but as I would like to work inside wpbakery environment, I am not entirely sure how I might go about this.
Same thing with post title, I understand i can check Show Title and that would effectively be the post title however I would like the page title to be a combination of fields entered into the form. Again doing this manually in post templates/functions I could find a way to do this but is this possible thing the plugin.
Thank you for your time
Hi Mourad, when i enable the plugin now i get a Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function vc_map(). I’ll switch it off in the ftp for now but I am not sure why I cannot enable it now considering it was active only a couple of days ago. No major changes my end.
That’s because Visual Composer is disabled, it should be fixed so i’ll be back to you ASAP
For taxonomy filter you’ll need to use the acf/fields/taxonomy/query hook.
For the title, you can use the acf/pre_save_post or wp_insert_post_data hooks.
Mourad
Hello,
it this ony an new post form, or can it be used to edit/update/delete posts too?
You can edit existing posts when you set post_id, we are working on a new release which do the edit whithout coding
Sounds great. Maybe you can inform me when it is released
Simply follow me and add item collection you’ll be notified on each update 
Hello. This plugin looks really promising. Do you plan to make another version that is not dependent on Elementor or VC? Just produce shortcode? Unfortunately I am not using either of those page builders.
Hello, Thank you for your interest, we are actually working on the Wordpress v 5 blocks page builder ! we’ll release it soon ! Ofcourse these plugins works without Elementor or VC, the shortcode is a wordpress default feature.
Mourad
Looking at the videos, for both the VC and Elementor versions, the settings of the forms are located within the builder’s elements. How would it work in wp that don’t use those builders? Also, does it support all ACF Pro’s field types?
I apologize for asking so many questions. It’s just that I’ve been looking for ACF frontend form that doesn’t require me to code manually.
Hello, No problem for asking, i’ll be here for you as much as i can help, for the use without VC or Elementor, both uses the same shortcode, which is well documented here
Also, remember that we’ll soon release a plugin wich uses Wordpress 5 blocks page builder.
For ACF Pro’s fields they are all supported.
Let me know how i can help. Mourad
Thank you Mourad, for your answers. I’ll have a look a the documentations first.
No problems !
Hi just bagiht it is there a wat to dellete a post
how can i make a dynamic edit form right now i need to add id all the time
and is theres a wat to deleate a post
tnx
Hello,
Not really sure hhat do you meant.
To edit your post you dont need to add the ID, but leave it blank. The form actually don’t delete post, you have to do it yourself either from Admin or create your own delete form
thanks fro replaying if i under stand right the edit post is global for all post? or i need to add it per post
2nd how do i add a deleate form is built in tnx
The post_id variable when it’s empty takes the ID of the current post, so if you add the ACF Front Form into your post/page, it will allows you to edit the post
You can use the wp_delete_post() function to delete any Wordpress post, use a basic form to submit the post id
ask about fronted user submission form
1. User submitted post work as A. standar post B. custom post C. editable?
2. Have repeat field or column?
3. User can edit their post?
4. Can this plugin achieve like this screenshot?? I mean Description Field + Ingredienst UL + Step UL combine as Content
or post content = description + ingredient + step
screenshot : https://imgur.com/EeeQ5TK
- User can submit work as A, as B and as C, you have to create the form accordingly
- Yes, but you’ll need ACF Pro to use the repeater field
- Yes, you’ll need to remove the “new_post” from the post id in form settings (see the documentation)
- Yes, you can do that (each field separated), in the same time, if you want, you can add some code to set the content = whatever you want
Mourad
please create demo for my recipe form
yes i have ACF Pro
Sure ! i’ve alreay planned a demo for you. I’ll send a link ASAP it’s done
hi.. where is the demo. i hope you not forget to make a demo
Hi ! Sorry, i dint forgot you, just a bit buzy.. Here a sample form which do exactly the same what you want and maybe more
Note i’ve create this in less than 5 minutes, let me know if you have any question
hi, demo looks awesome
i have ACF pro 5.6.10 & VC 4.12 bundle with my themes. will my plugin compatible with yours? or i need latest VC
Yes it will 
hi sorry im really2 sorry. im accidentally buy your ELEMENTOR version from my favorites menu. can i get refund to buy VC version. elementor is not working for my wordpress .
hi thank you.
i’ve create ACF form like your demo & setup on VC.
But how to bind field (title) 1 as POST TITLE,
field Description + Ingredients + Steps as POST CONTENT
Hi, sorry for the late response, For the title i’ll suggest you to enable the “Post Title” in form settings To convert (and formate) the fields into content, i’ll suggest you to hook the acf/save_post filter, and update the post_content according to your needs
I think your plugin can do this with a shortcut . For “Post Title” its ok
I’m weak on php. please give an php example & from where I need to start.
function acfff_change_post_content($data , $postarr) {
if ( isset( $_POST['acf'] ) ) {
//
if ( isset( $_POST['acf']['field_5d4c9937da23f'] ) ){
$data['post_content'] .= $_POST['acf']['field_5d4c9937da23f'];
}
}
return $data;
}
add_action( 'wp_insert_post_data', 'acfff_change_post_content', '99', 2 );
its work perfect. but i have multiple field. this is my field as sample
field_aaaaaaaaaa
field_bbbbbbbbbb (List with Repeater)
field_ccccccccccc (List with Repeater)
field_dddddddddd (images as attachment)
please help
Hello,
First, i’m happy that my code helped you and sorry for late reply, unfortunatelly, this extra feature needs some work on your website, so, i invite you to UpWork where i can finish the job for you, this extra feature will not cost you more than what you have already payed for the plugin.
Let me know how i can help more
hi .. have gmail/hangout? just want to chat
can I pay directly from paypal for customization.
i dont want my cc spread on various web sites
or, can i buy extra support from here?? can be considered as payment for customization
Not sure if it’s possible, but i worked on upwork for years
Good afternoon:
When inserting an image field or a gallery with an ACF front form, the url path of the image is displayed in the frontend, not the image itself.
I have the version of Advanced Custom Fields PRO 5.7.7
The installed theme is Bridge
Regards
Hi, Thank you for purchasing ACF Front Form. The plugin uses ACF to submit image or gallery, it saves into the database the url(s), some metadata and upload the image(s), then it also generates thumbnails (this is handled by WordPress). the plugin do not handles the way you want to display the images, it’s up you to chose the way you want to use the data (url, path, thumbnail or image)
I’ll do a simple test code to help you and send it to you when i’ve some time
I’ll suggest you to use acf_field shortcode or use wp_get_attachment_image() functon
Cordially
Hello,
We’re using your plugin, which is very useful!
Quick question: Can we send an e-mail to an address when a form is submitted? To the website’s owner
Thanks for your feedback.
Best regards, Maxime
Hello Maxime,
I’m so happy to know that the plugin helps you. To answer your question : YES, you have to hook the acf/save_post filter and use the send mail php mail or wp_mail function
Cordially, Mourad
Hi,
I was wondering if we can set an order/position for the fields’ display? We set up an order in ACF, but in the frontend, it’s like random order…
I didn’t find anything in the documentation, unfortunately.
Thanks for your help
Best regards, Maxime
Hi, Usually, acf_form always displays the fields in the order you set them, even on front end, so i’ll suggest you to check if you have made some css changes.
I’ll take a look to your site if you give access to check
M++
Hi, We found a solution! We forgot the check the box “Field groups” and checked only the fields. Thanks for your help!
Great ! glade to know that 
Hi,
So with this you can create forms to populate any custom post type? Automatically creates the post or page linked to the cpt?
Eh Yes, it create a form which uses ACF fields, and you can set which post type you want to create when the form is submitted
