Hi, yes, but this does not means edit the checkout form, you can go the the checkout page and add your form as any other page

Thanks but i assume there will be 2 buttons to save, one for acf and one for checkout , it is possible to have a unique button to save all ?

Hi, the “Live preview” means that you see how the form will be displayed while you are creating it and editing its settings

Ah ok i see. Would be great to have some kind of preview while editing

Hi, can you explaine ? if you mean editing ACF Fileds then it’s a good idea, but not sure if it’s possible in page builder, actually you edit/create your fields in ACF editor, then you pick/select which fields/field groups you will use in page builder. Also there is a live preview on styling actually

For example when I create a new custom post with different custom fields, and the post will be displayed later in an elementor template, it would be really good to see the post in it’s final template while creating it in frontend editor. Something like a live preview area where i can see the result. Do you understand?

Hi ! this usually happends when the post is not totally saved, it’s ACF issue, have you made any hooks ? let me know

Ty it’s been resolved.

Hi, Thank you ! you can dynamically populate the title using the acf/pre_save_post hook, we are planning on how to make it possible with any kind of fields and combinations without coding in the future. For the post_author it’s actually set automatically by wordpress by default, if it does not work, then use the same hook above.

Sincerely, Mourad

Thanks for that. However, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’m using the example on that ACF site, but when the page loads, it submits the form. I’m trying to post to a custom post type and changing the title. Thoughts?

Hi, for the post type just set your choice in this plugin Post Settings

Then for the title, check if

$post_id == 'new_post'

instead of ‘new’. To get the fields you want, go to ACF Field Group (in ACF settings) then cpy/pst the field keys you want (something like ‘field_abcdef123456’) the combine them as you want like :

if( $post_id != 'new_post' ) {

        return $post_id;

    }
if (!isset($_POST['acf'])) {
   return $post_id;
}
// create the title
$my_title = $_POST['acf']['field_key_a'] . ' ' . $_POST['acf']['field_key_b'];
$post = [
        'post_title'  => $my_title,
        'post_type'  => 'my_post_type' ,
    ];
// insert the post
    $post_id = wp_insert_post( $post ); 

    // return the new ID
    return $post_id;

Also note that this feature maybe done in next release

So just for my sanity, I’ve removed all custom code referring to the custom post type and form. It’s still double submitting. Any thoughts?

Ah sorry i see, so try to increase your hook priority and make your function checks everything is well :

add_filter('acf/pre_save_post', 'my_acf_pre_save_post', 1);
        function my_acf_pre_save_post($post_id)
        {
            if ($post_id != 'new_post') {
                return $post_id;
            }

            if (!isset($_POST['acf'])) {
                return $post_id;
            }
            /**
             * Check if the fields are posted, otherwise return the post id
             */
            if (!isset($_POST['acf']['field_key_a']) || !isset($_POST['acf']['field_key_b'])) return $post_id;
            /**
             * Make the title
             */
            $my_title = $_POST['acf']['field_key_a'] . ' ' . $_POST['acf']['field_key_b'];
            //
            $post = [
                'post_title'    => $my_title,
                'post_status'   => 'publish',
            ];
            // insert the post
            $post_id = wp_insert_post($post);
            /**
             * Check if post created w/out erros
             */
            if (is_wp_error($post_id)) {
                wp_die($post_id->get_error_message());
            }
            // return the new ID
            return $post_id;
        }

Let me know if all is ok

Hi ! this is like new issue, can you please explaine how i can reproduce the issue ? which versions are you using of wordpress and elementor ?

Wordpress 5.4 Elementor 2.9.7

Activate plugin can’t Edit with Elementor. Disable it and can edit as normal.

Hi, the plugin already supports WP 5.4 and elementor 2.9.7, i’ve just done the tests. have you installed the latest version of ACF ? Can you please let me check your site ? it looks like some other plugin is conflicting, let me know

I found the error – it crashes site if ACF isn’t installed first.

Maybe some better error handling

Yeah, this was done, but looks like we have to fix it, sorry for the inconvenience

Np

Hi, how can I add with shortcode? [acf_front_form] just shows an update button thats all. Unfortunately I stupidly went and bought both versions. Now I don’t user VC or Elementor anymore.

Hello Julienbrohez, sorry for the delay, we had internet issues. ACF as for now do not support user fields, and ACF Front Form is a layer on top of ACF. I’ve seen your old messages and noticed that i’ve already explained to you this. I’m sorry but if you read the refound policy you’ll find that there is no way to pay you back, but i can help you to do that :

1. First, in ACF, create the fields that you want to map to user’s fields, for example “first_name” for the “First Name”
2. Create you ACF Form with ACF Front Form
3. create a hook for the acf/submit_form or acf/pre_save_post to get the submitted values and set them to wp user fields, ex :

   $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
   $current_user->first_name = $_POST['acf']['<first_name_key_field>'];
   

you can get the first_name_key_field in ACF filed section.

Also, as i told you, there is an upcoming update which will include this feature. Let me know how i can help you Sincerely, Mourad

Hello, i’ve totally forgotten that there is a “User” relation field type in ACF, you can create a field which link to wp user, but not built-in wordpress user fields. I’m actually finishing this new feature and will update the plugin ASAP.

sincerely, Mourad

Thank you, when will the update be available? Julian

Hello Julian, I’ve already finished a form that registers new user with all wp user’s fields, also the one to edit and add new user (for admin).

I’ll then create the login and change my password forms.

I would like to know if you want to create extra fields (non default wp user fields) for the user (like date of birth or sex for example), i want to add them on the release after this one.

I think that i’ll finish in 3-4 days, note that i have to add all Elementor tweaks and tab styling. Let me know, thx

Mourad

Hi Julian, please let me know about your needs to see if i can add them on next release, thanks

Hi Mourad. It’s great that you are working on it.

Each connected user must be able to edit the many fields that I have created. I made you captures of ACF frontend (which I use while waiting for your update) What would also be nice is that we also find the role “Friends” of buddypress.

Julian Thank you for your work!

Hi Julian, for the moment, this release will not be able to handle custom fields, we made only fields related to wordpress user fields. And yes for the role, actually it loads all existin roles registered in wordpress, i’ll also check buddypress roles. I’m not sure to understand what do you mean when you say “I made you captures of ACF frontend”, please can you explaine ?

If you want to add extra meta user fields (that you have created) let me know if we can discuss and i invite you to my UpWork profile

Hi Mourad, I can’t wait to try this update. You finished it? Regards, Julian

Hello Julian, it tooks a bit longer than expected but we are in good path, we have added some features, fixed some bugs and now working on elementor UI. we’ll need one more day to update the documentation. We are also so exited with new update and working hard to release ASAP Thank you
