User Registration Tutorial AND ACF fields for title and content

    I am having 2 issues.

    1. I cannot figure out how to allow someone to register as a contributor. Is there a tutorial or how-to somewhere?

    2. I want to CALL the title and content fields name and intro, respectively. If I use ACF to create the fields I want, they are not replacing the default fields, they are just adding additional fields. And they are not auto populating in the appropriate places on my site (meaning the custom fields are not displaying in PLACE of the title and content areas).

    Can anyone help me?

    So sorry! Maybe this is a separate ticket, do you want me to start a new thread? The edit post function is now not working for me. I can go in and edit it, but it doesn’t save the changes I make.

    Also, and this is so minor because I can work around this, but the ACF has the ability to only show a field if another field is filled out. For example, I collect instagram links and handles. It only asks for the link if you filled out handle, and IF you filled out handle, link is required. This still works well when creating a post through the front end post creator. But when editing a post, all fields are showing, and the fields which are required will not let you submit unless they are filled out, even though the shouldn’t be showing with the conditional display. Does that make sense? I know I can work around this by not making those fields required, but it also makes for way more fields showing (I have 4 of these kinds of conditional fields), and it also is nice to require one field based on another, if that makes sense.

    Sorry, now I feel like I’m totally monopolizing your time….

    For editing posts, permissions, I only want administrators and the post’s author to be able to see the edit button and ultimately edit the post. If I select the Role of author, it means ANY author, not just that post’s author, correct?

    Under Permissions, Dynamic Selections there is a search field. How do I select only the post author? I tried to enter key terms into the search like “post” and “author” but nothing came up.

    Hi I fixed the issue with the post author option not showing up.
