Description
Hello,
We are using Advanced Forms for ACF to create frontend forms.
- It is working using the latest version of ACF Pro, nut in SCF
- It might be related to
validate_save_post_authorityinform_front.php-> this is something new in SCF- from the code, I'm not sure what this is good for :)
(I'm not sure, if this is within the scope of SCF, at least it's something where SCF is not a drop-in replacement anymore)
Problem
- Submitting a form results in an error: "Validation failed. SCF could not validate this form because its security information is invalid or has expired."
Advanced Formsis not using acf_form to render the form.
Workaround
Use ACF in the meantime.

Research direction
Reproduce the submission failure with a frontend form built using Advanced Forms, then inspect validate_save_post_authority in form_front.php, which the report identifies as a possible source. Done means the form submits successfully in SCF without the invalid-or-expired security information error, while preserving validation behavior.
