Hi !

I would like to know if there’s a way to display a form from your plugin publicly. If I’m not connected to the website, I cannot see my form.

Is there an option or a hook for this ?

Hi @shabi,

After Frontend Admin Lite 3.24.1, the following CSS has been added in frontend-admin-min.css:1:19229:

.elementor-element .acf-field {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

This perturbes the proper display of ACF/SCF fields in a form created with Elementor (vertical space=0).

Would it be possible to remove this CSS in a coming release? Thanks for your help!

Best,

Olivier

Hi! Is there a way to have the “send” button inactive until the required fields are filled?
Or at least maintain the data after sending.
I know it may be too much to ask, but maybe there is a snippet or something, thanks!

{
? ? "key": "610f05f6a6a4ced522ad66f94187b94d",
? ? "type": "warning",
? ? "message": "Undefined array key \"submission_title\"",
? ? "file": "wp-content/plugins/acf-frontend-form-element/main/frontend/forms/classes/submit.php",
? ? "line": 501,
? ? "stack": [
? ? ? ? "Frontend_Admin\\Classes\\Submit_Form->return_form()",
? ? ? ? "Frontend_Admin\\Classes\\Submit_Form->submit_form()",
? ? ? ? "Frontend_Admin\\Classes\\Submit_Form->check_submit_form()",
? ? ? ? "do_action('wp_ajax_frontend_admin/form_submit')"
? ? ],
? ? "component": "Plugin: acf-frontend-form-element"
}

Can I use this plugin to create custom post type for recommendations where users enter recommendation, name and title in form and the post is publish after the admin approve it?
after the post is approve it will shown on the site?
I don’t want the user logged to the site, just fill the form and send it and the admin will publish the recommendation

After the recent update (3.24.2) I no longer have the ability to load current user posts. I get the following message: “The results could not be loaded.“. Even the “Add New Post?” option is not showing up in the drop-down.

Is this a known issue?

Hi, I use your plugin for a long time, great !

I want to show form button (modal window) only in articles of current author logged.

If I choose “author” in role and don’t enable “edit other posts”, I can see form button on all pages.

Hi,

The Frontend Admin plugin appears to be causing inconsistent image filename handling in WordPress media management. When an image is uploaded through ACF fields in my custom post types, the plugin’s interaction with WordPress’s media handling system creates a discrepancy in how image filenames are processed. Specifically, when an image is uploaded and the post is saved, WordPress appends a numerical suffix (e.g., “-1”) to the resized versions of the image, but the reference to the original/base image in the srcset attribute remains without this suffix. This creates broken image references on mobile devices as the srcset attempts to load the non-suffixed version of the file which doesn’t exist.

This issue can be reproduced consistently by: uploading a new image through an ACF image field in the any post, saving the post, and then examining the generated HTML. The srcset attribute in the img tag shows all resized versions with a numerical suffix (e.g., “-1”), while the base image reference lacks this suffix. This inconsistency causes CDN distribution issues and results in broken images on certain devices depending on which version of the image is requested through the srcset.

When I disable Frontend Admin, the issue goes away instantly. I hate to point fingers but it certainly does seem on the surface that this plugin is at least somehow involved in this issue.

Hello. I created the Edit Post form. I did it according to the YouTube video “WordPress Frontend Edits and Updates Using Frontend Admin” It doesn’t open the user’s posts. So it only works if by “Specific Post” When I configure by POST: URL Query . URL QUERY KEY: post_id does not open for editing. How to configure to edit content dynamically. I need it to only show the post of the user who is logged in. I wait!

Hi,

I can’t seem to find an option to open a form via a button. Instead of placing a shortcode on a page, I need an Edit Post button that will open a form to edit the current post.

I’m aware of the Modal Window option which is not what I’m looking for. Using the respective shortcode in a link won’t work either in this case.

This has got to be so basic that I’m probably just missing it.

Thanks for putting me in the right direction.

Hello,

Today, I updated Frontend Admin from version 3.20.12 to 3.24.0.

After the update, the edit form is only visible to administrators, and subscribers can no longer see or access it. This is a big issue because it stops users from editing their own posts, which is a key feature of our site. All other forms are still working fine, so the problem only affects the edit form.

If I restore my website (database and files) to the previous version, everything works again as expected. Restoring only the files doesn’t solve the problem, which suggests that the update is changing something in the database as well.

Could you please look into this and help me find a solution? I need to get this fixed quickly so subscribers can edit their posts again.

Additional oberservation: If I go to the permissions tab and change it from “Only logged in users” to “All users” and save, the form is visible again. But of course, I cannot give everyone access to this form and if I change it back it is only visible to administrators again!

Hi,

On ‘Add new post’ forms, how can I make a form resets, to be able to add new form entry after successful ajax submission ?
(For example I have a contact us form and I don’t want the users be able to edit their submitted forms.)

There is already an option for set reset form, but it is only appears when choose ‘reload current page/post’ after submission.

Thank you and have a great day

Hi Shabti,
Hope you are doing fine.
I am facing an issue with the AFC-frontend plugin.
The form does not allow non-admin users to add new terms to custom fields.
You can check it on this page:
https://www.worldpronet.com/companies-form
Password: wpn2020
Try to add a new tag to the ‘company relevant tags’ field, but it will not show any option to update it.
Thanks for your kind support.
And Shana Tova.

With the toggle set to “Resize Image” and the Maximum Width and Height both set to 1920px. When uploading an image that is larger than 1920px on either dimension it is scaled down, this is expected behaviour and working fine.

However, when uploading an image that is smaller than 1920px in both width and height, the image is being scaled up, so that its largest side is 1920px. This is not expected behaviour.
I would expect this if the setting were for minimum dimensions, but not for maximum.

As an example I uploaded an image that was 600×400. In the image library it shows that this has been scaled up to 1920×1280.

Hi dear Shabti,
I hope everything is well with you.

Regarding Gallery field:
After page load, the upload button works fine and opens-up “system upload window” || “WordPress media library” to choose images. but once I disable access to ‘WordPress Media Library’ in form setting, after submit the form with ajax, there are some style changes in gallery field and the upload button not working. it generates console error related to acf-input.min.js (image3).
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'query')
at n.addFrameStates (acf-input.min.js)

I’ve compared html code of gallery field on before/after of submission, and there was some differences like missing {data-uploader=”basic”} attribute and {<div class=”file-meta-data”>} after submission.(Image4)

Hi

Is there any way to notify the admin with email when someone submit a message from the form?

Hi,

I need to distinguish posts which are created by back end (using WP default back end) and those coming from form in Frontend Admin.

My idea is to put an hidden field in the form which, by default, apply a “tag” to the post, like “frontend-admin”. But I realized I am not able to create tags to posts using forms… do I need to select “taxonomy” as a field? and then???

Any help or suggestion about how to do this?

Thanks.

Ioria.

Hi,

I am encountering an issue with the relationship field in the latest version of the Frontend Admin plugin (v3.23.2). My setup involves a custom post type (CPT) A, where users can submit posts from the frontend. One of the fields they fill out is a relationship field that connects these posts to another custom post type (CPT) B.

This functionality worked perfectly in version 3.23.1, but after upgrading to version 3.23.2, the relationship field no longer displays any available posts to select. It appears empty, even though the related posts exist. Rolling back to version 3.23.1 resolves the issue and the relationship field works as expected again.

I have checked for any JavaScript errors, and everything seems normal in the browser’s console. I am using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) for managing the relationship field, and there have been no changes in my ACF setup or the custom post types.

Could you please help me investigate this issue? If it’s a bug introduced in version 3.23.2, I would greatly appreciate any guidance or a fix for this problem.

Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

How do I remove the “By default, this form is only visible to administrators. To change this, please set the permissions for this form.” message?

Thanks

Hi,

I have two CPTs related to each other (e.g. CPT “A” related to CPTs “A1” and “A2”, and CPT “B” related to CPTs “B1” and “B2”.
Is there a way through the plugin to set two fields on the frontend so that only “A1” and “A2” are displayed in the list in one field if I have selected “A” in the other related field, and only “B1” and “B2” if I have selected “B” in the other field?

Thanks.

Hi there –

Unless I’m missing something, the “Dynamic Permissions” section in the Elementor “Edit Post” widget — where the ability to only allow a post to be edited by its author used to be — no longer exists? Has this perhaps been relegated to a Pro feature? I needed to update the plugin to take advantage of the the Google maps fix, but seem to have lost this ability.

Further, even with permissions set to “All users” and no other content/login gating applied, AND logged in as an Admin, a post editing form will not render on the front end.

In Firefox it will throw the following error:

“By default, this form is only visible to administrators. To change this, please set the permissions for this form.”

In Chrome and Safari, it will simply not render. No other permissions settings will allow it to be visible.

HOWEVER, I can get the NEW Nested Edit post form to render AND commit an edit to a post, but I am still left with the inability to limit permissions to the post’s author, or at all. The form visibility needs to be set to “ALL Users” to render properly. Any other setting will not render the form.

As the form is set inside of a post type template (to allow logged-in users to edit their own business listing, right from the listing), this unfortunately currently leaves the ability of ANY logged in user to edit any post.

Any help would be appreciated! I’m happy to provide more details.

Hi

I need to have a form that allows the user to submit it once. After that it should dissapear.

I see the Allowed Submissions setting, and Ive set it to 1, but its allowing me to submit the same form many times. So as far as I can see, that feature doesnt work. Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hi all.

How can I create a password reset form? I see options for login form, edit user form etc, but no password reset form. Is there a way?

Also, is there a way I can add a ‘post name’ field to the password reset form which creates a post when the form is submitted. So in effect, the form is doing two things: setting a password and creating a post for the user. The workflow Id like is:

1. I create a user in wordpress
2. User receives a password reset field link. They visit the link, enter their password and post name title
3. When they login theyre able to edit the post that was created when they set their password. (they will only ever have one post to edit, no more. Each user gets their own post to edit)
   

Thanks

I have created a simple one field (firstname) frontend admin form, trying to saving custom fields to User. Once I hit the submit button, the form does not submit, but spins.

Any suggestions?

I have an issue with my form where after the submit button is pressed and the form fails validation, all the file input fields on the form are disabled.

Is there anything I can do about this so that the form is still useable after it fails validation?
