Also … when the notification email is sent to the admin about the form submission and post creation it does not include all the data.
The email has {all_fields} but that only includes the actual post data and not the categories, Tags or Custom fields.
Must all these be added manually, if so how?
Thanks

Hi @alanjacobs,
I hope you are doing well today!
Please share the link of the form page and an export of the form with us, so that we can check further.
You can find more info on how to export the form here : https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export
After exporting, please share the code using a service such as https://pastebin.com which is free to use.
Please always make sure to use such service to share the code and don’t post the code here directly as it will most likely be unusable.
Kind regards,
Zafer
Hi, The exporting is a great tip as in looking again and getting ready to export I found the issue! I had 2 very similar Tag groups and had selected the wrong one as Multiple.
So that part now works perfectly. Sorry.
ACPT integration still remains a request though. As the custom field is not seen by Forminator.
Also an option for checkboxes instead of dropdowns would be great.
Cheers
Alan
Hi @alanjacobs
ACPT integration still remains a request though. As the custom field is not seen by Forminator.
Integration with ACF may be added in future, it is something that’s considered, but I don’t have an ETA and any additional details on how it would work.
However, in general – Forminator does not pick up custom fields at all. It’s not only for ACF. It won’t automatically “list” those fields in postdata field.
It can add/submit data to the custom field but it’s “one way”.
Let’s say that you have ACF custom field named “pet_name” (note: it’s not a “label” in ACF but field name). If you want that to be filled-in in Forminator form then you need to:
– add a text field to the form (let’s say it’s your “text-5” field)
– enable “custom fields” option in “postdata” field
– in “Label” of custom field put that filed name: pet_name
– and “map” the text field to it by putting {text-5} in “Value” of custom field there (or you can select any form field under little + icon in “value” of custom field).
Best regards,
Adam
Hello @alanjacobs ,
We haven’t heard from you for a while now, so it looks like you don’t need our assistance anymore.
Feel free to re-open this ticket if needed.
Kind regards

No more assistance needed thanks. I am now looking at other plugins to do what I need.
Just to be clear, it is NOT ACF I am interested in but ACPT. A different plugin although it does a similar job.
Cheers
