Advanced Custom Fields wrongly prefilled - wordpress

I have set up a form with advanced custom fields on the frontend in order to allow posts being generated from the frontend.
The form works but every time I visit the page with the form the form is prefilled with values however in the custom field setup I have no default value specified.
here is the code I am using.
<?php acf_form_head();
get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary" class="site-content">
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php the_post(); ?>
<?php
$options = array(
'post_id' => 'new',
'field_groups' => array(36),
'submit_value' => 'Create Quote Request' ,
'updated_message' => 'Quote Created!'
);
acf_form( $options ); ?>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Any advice is appreciated.

Change 'Create Quote Request' to ' ' because that's the text populating your text box... so removing it will stop populating it.

I ran into the same problem. I couldn't figure out how to unset it properly, so I jQueried it. Hope this helps.
$(".reset").ready(function() {
$('.acf-form').find("input[type=text], textarea").val("");
});
Replace .acf-form with either your form id or class
I altered to my needs from this:
Clear form fields with jQuery

Awaiting Moderation Message not showing up in WordPress 4.9.6

I'm working on my comment-section.
I have a very basic custom Comment_Walker. But it doesn't show the "Awaiting Moderation" string after posting a comment.
Comments are posted successfully to the backend. I have ticked that comments have to be manually approved in the settings in the backend.
A comment shows in the comment section in the backend as "pending". But I won't get the message when posting the comment.
My Walker File (very basic reduced to demonstrate)
<?php
/** Custom Comment Walker Basic */
class Custom_Comment_Walker extends Walker_Comment {
protected function html5_comment( $comment, $depth, $args ) {
$tag = ( $args['style'] === 'div' ) ? 'div' : 'li';
?>
<<?php echo $tag; ?> id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>" <?php comment_class( $this->has_children ? 'has-children col-12 p-0' : 'p-0 col-12 list-unstyled' ); ?>>
<div>
<?php echo get_comment_text(); ?>
<?php if ( '0' == $comment->comment_approved ) : ?>
Awaiting Moderation
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php
}
}
Accessing it via:
<div class="comment-list">
<?php
wp_list_comments( array(
'walker' => new Custom_Comment_Walker()
) );
?>
</div>
I don't quite understand why the message wouldn't show up. Do I oversee something here? Using the latest WordPress 4.9.6 on a localhost. I did deactivate literally every plugin I've had active before posting here. I have also tested this with different accounts and roles.
Apparently the solution was to have the "Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment." checkbox selected in order for the message to show up.
So you have to have the GDPR checkbox to be checked in order to have the comment and message appearing before approval.
Sorry for bothering.

Wordpress: not displaying all items in custom post type

Dear PHP / Wordpress / Dev Experts,
Ive build a plugin, with a custom post type and some advanced custom fields. The main goal is to list the members in my band, with pictures and name.
You can see it here: http://www.lucky13.nl/test/
I've managed to get everything working to my taste, however.. I have 5 bandmembers in my band which i've added, but i'm only seeing 4. Where is the 5th entry / post? I find that the first added bandmember is not displaying.
I assume this has to do with the loop, and the array not listing all items? But i'll leave this to the experts.. I would appreciate any comments of help!
My code:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: VrolijkWebdesign - Bandmembers
Description: For a bandwebsite to show bandmembers.
*/
/* Start Adding Functions Below this Line */
/* NAME FUNCTION */
function new_section_1(){
$bandmembers = new WP_Query(array(
'post_type' => 'bandmembers'
));
while($bandmembers->have_posts()) : $bandmembers->the_post();
if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ):
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?>
<!-- START HTML -->
<div class="span2">
<figure class="snip1104">
<img src="<?php echo $image[0] ;?>" alt='sample33'/>
<figcaption>
<h5> <?php the_field('firstname'); ?> <span> <?php the_field('lastname'); ?>
</span></h5>
</figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
<!-- END HTML -->
<?php endif;
endwhile;
}
add_shortcode('band', 'new_section_1');
?>
$bandmembers = new WP_Query(array(
'post_type' => 'bandmembers',
'posts_per_page' => '5'
));
Try setting the posts_per_page argument. Since the default might be set to '4' by other filters.
If you want to get all posts in a single query use '-1' instead of '5'
You could also try the below for debugging purposes only:
-Try to set post_status to 'any' to make sure that post statuses are not a problem.
-Try var_dump($bandmembers) after doing the query to see the fetched posts before the loop starts.

Wordpress - get pages in same page

I'm creating a wordpress top-down website by sections and i don't know which is the best way to get the pages into different sections.
I also want to take into account the charging performance
<section id="about">
<!-- Content of page -->
</section>
<section id="services">
<!-- Content of page -->
</section>
<section id="contacts">
<!-- Content of page -->
</section>
Thank's
I would use a simple WP_Query instance here, and use the following code:
<?php
// Set the WP_Query arguments
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'page',
// You need to change this to match your post IDs
'post__in' => array( 10, 20, 30 ),
'order_by' => 'post__in',
'order' => 'DESC' // Might need to change this to "ASC"...
);
// Create the page section query
$page_section_query = new WP_Query( $args );
// Simple check...
if( $page_section_query->have_posts() ) :
while( $page_section_query->have_posts() ) :
$page_section_query->the_post();
global $post;
// Print out the section!
?>
<section id="<?php echo esc_attr( $post->post_name ) ?>" <?php post_class( array( esc_attr( 'page-section-' . $post->post_name ) ) ); ?>>
<!-- contents of the page section -->
</section>
<?php
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();
endif;
?>
Simple and effective, 1 query is all that this needs. Just keep adding more post IDs if you want more sections.
If you want to avoid using post IDs as an ordering parameter you could use: menu_order instead. And if you would like to avoid using post__in parameter you could add all the pages to a page parent and use the parent post ID and get all the page children for the sections. This would make the solution a little more modular.

How to list posts from categories with custom post type? (WP)

Hi I am having an issues with custom post type.
So what I am trying to do, list all posts from subcategories while calling a main category. Usualy this worked with no problem with normal post type from Wordpress, but since I tried to use custom post type it's not working...
My category structure is like this:
Category
Sub category
( Posts inside )
Sub category
( Posts inside )
Any help or tips are appreciated. Thanks
<?php
$categories = get_categories('title_li=&hide_empty=1&parent=1430');
foreach($categories as $category) {
echo "<div class='col-12' style='border-bottom: 0'><h1 class=''>".$category->name."</h1></div>";
$args = array('cat'=> $category->term_id);
if (have_posts() ) : while (have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<!-- article -->
<article class="col-3">
<div class="image">
<span class="helper"></span><?php the_post_thumbnail('full');?>
</div>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content();?>
</article>
<!-- /article -->
<?php endwhile; endif; }?>
</main>
There are a couple of problems going on here:
First, you're not declaring a loop, or calling get_posts.
Second, if you check out the documentation for WP_Query (which is the "backbone" behind get_posts, so the arguments are essentially the same), you'll see that if you do NOT pass in an argument for post type, the default is post.
So, since you've not shared with us the post type, you'll have to adjust the below as needed:
// .. your code above ....
$args = array(
'cat'=> $category->term_id,
// Include the post_type in the query arguments
'post_type' => 'custom-post-type' // Change this as needed
);
// Now we need to actually query for the posts...
$custom_posts = new WP_Query( $args );
// These are modified to use our custom loop...
if ($custom_posts->have_posts() ) : while ($custom_posts->have_posts() ) : $custom_posts->the_post(); ?>
// .. your code below ... the_title(), etc will work here...

getPost() method and Pagination

i am creating a related post article feature for my wordpress enabled site.being new to php and wordpress facing some issue.
though i can user wordpress build in feature to show related post of author but since site is hosting articles of authors who don't have any profile with us and there are many such authors so when a new post is being created for the author we tend to save a custom field as author_email.
so based on this we want to show all post being published of a particual author.i tried using get_posts() method
<?php
$args = array( 'meta_key' => 'author_email', 'meta_value' => 'XYZ#XYZ.com');
$authorposts=get_posts($args); ?>
<div id="content">
<span class="breadcrumbs">Home » <?php the_category(', ') ?></span>
<?php if (count( $authorposts ) > 0) {
foreach ( $authorposts as $post ): setup_postdata($post) ?>
<div id="headline_author">
/*
showing post tilte with image and some part of it
*/
<div class="clearfloat"></div>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<div class="post-nav">
<div class="previous"><?php previous_posts_link('‹ Previous Page') ?></div>
<div class="next"><?php next_posts_link('Next Page ›') ?></div>
</div>
<?php
} else {
echo '<p>No articles by this user</p>';
}
?>
</div>
it showing the first 5 results and a link to the next page but when i click on the next page it show me that it has gone to second page as its also visible on the URL but its showing the same 5 results what it has shown in the first page.
i am an idea that the query i have written on the same page is getting executed again from the beginning but not sure how to fix it.
since i am using cutom fields to get posts i can use simple query to fetch post based on the limit or offse etc.
can any one help me to fix the things or can point me hw to do it in right way
thanks in advance
I am not word-press/php expert just started learning about it. it seems that you have not set the paged global variable by which it can track the page number.
you need to do something like this.
$post_per_page = get_option('posts_per_page');
if (!is_paged()) {
$custom_offset = 0;
} else {
$custom_offset = $post_per_page*($paged-1);
}
$args = array( 'meta_key' => 'author_email', 'meta_value' => xyz#xyz.com' ,'numberposts' => $post_per_page,'offset' => $custom_offset);
