    Hi, I also want to be able to plan future posts from the frontend form, I see there is an option to set post status (I use select field for that – works fine) – but the problem is, there is no way to add the date (acf date field) when post needs to be published.

    Is there any way to do this?

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Using the ACFE Form, you can set a future date on a post with the acfe/form/submit/post_args hook (See documentation).

    That hook will let you define the post arguments later passed to the wp_insert_post() function (See documentation). In order to set a scheduled date, you can set a future date (in the Y-m-d H:i:s format), and enable the edit_date parameter. See stackoverflow topic. Usage example:

    add_filter('acfe/form/submit/post_args/form=my-form', 'my_form_post_args', 10, 4);
function my_form_post_args($args, $type, $form, $action){
    
    // schedule post date
    $args['post_date'] = '2022-05-20 10:00:00';
    $args['edit_date'] = true;
    
    // return
    return $args;
    
}

    Hope it helps!

    Have a nice day!

    Regards.
