i have a membership site. The members are captured on a step form due to the form being very long. Then I created an archive for every member. Every member does have a login. in other words, they complete a WordPress user registration, then from there they create a profile (custom post type).
The archive shows all the members with the status "approved". This will also only be visible to log in members. When the member finds his profile he must be able to click a button to edit his profile. However, the client does not want the editor to have to go through the whole 9 step profile completeness post form to edit one item on the 6th or 7 th page. My solution was to create more than one edit form with just the specific section's fields. There will be a "button" in each of the sections for just editing that specific sections fields.
I have created an edit post form with the post title, first name and surname as read-only. The contact details ie telephone numbers email etc is editable. This form was inserted both as a form into a page or as a template for that page and in both cases, I am getting the "Form type and post type does not match". I do need to understand why this is happening as this was not the first time in this project that it happened and will not be the last.
The most common reason for this is that you're trying to edit a different post type that the form is assigned to edit. Given that you say the form is on a page i'm assuming that its trying to edit the page itself rather than your intended post type which would cause the issue.
Hopefully I was able to provide some clarity on this one for you. If there are any further questions please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane
Hi Shane,
Thx for your speedy reply. However, I am not any closer to the solution. I have made screen prints of the post type the form the page etc, Maybe you can see something.
The problem is i am now sitting with another one giving me exactly the same results. I am more than willing to supply credentials if you could have a look. I am sure I am missing fundamentals as this happens to almost every form I try and setup
