Issue with mapping fields

  • I am using latest version of WordPress, latest CF7 and latest Post My CF7. Everything works great except map form fields to post meta-fields. I am trying to map the form fields to ACF fields but whatever i map from dropdown it gets saved as the form field.
    Example: i have an ACF field called presale_date and a form field called cf-presaledate. After i map them, the custom field becomes cf_presaledate and i can edit it as a text input. When submiting the form, that field isnt filling. The issue isnt only with that ACF but with all fields. Any help would be apreciated, thanks!

    I am trying to map the form fields to ACF fields but whatever i map from dropdown it gets saved as the form field.

    keep in mind that ACF fields are not completely adhering to WP core meta fields. This is in order to make the fields UI more pretty in the backend.

    Post My CF7 Form expects WP std fields to map to, and has not been designed with ACF in mind. As a result others have complained about strang results with ACF fields. My suggestion is always to use WP core functionality which is teh std for all plugins and ensures your data is compatible with the widest range of plugins.

    Post My CF7 Form will create WP std fields for your when you map your form to custom fields, and that is what works best.

    After i map them, the custom field becomes cf_presaledate and i can edit it as a text input. When submiting the form, that field isnt filling.

    No sure what is going on, however can you switch on WP_DEBUG mode and see if you are getting any errors reported in the backend.
