How to create post edit form?

Hello,

In order to help you, you’ll have to provide more information about your setup, screenshots of your “Post: Update Action”, and additional data regarding where the form is being displayed.

The {request:story_id} will check $_GET['story_id'] & $_POST['story_id'] of the page where the form is being displayed. So if your URL doesn’t have ?story_id=123 part, then it won’t work.

Also please note that you have to map fields where you want data being loaded (+ check ACF fields if you want them loaded too), in the “Load” tab of the “Post: Update Action”.

Regards.

Hello,

Your form configuration looks alright, you forgot one major point tho, you forgot to tell which ACF fields should have their value filled.

in the “Load” tab of the “Post: Update Action”, you’ll find those fields with checkbox. Check the fields in there to have their ACF values filled. If you want to to display native WP Post data like “Title”, “Post Type”, “Post Status” etc… you’ll have to map them above.

Hope it helps!

Hello,

This is not normal, you’re supposed to see fields that are inside the field group you mapped in the “General” tab here: https://snipboard.io/2m8pjW.jpg

Do you have any ACF field in your “Story Additional Fields” field group?

Regards.

Hello,

I’m glad to hear that it now works as expected 🙂

Thanks for the review!

Have a nice day.
