We found a code on a Toolset support ticket to link a specific category to a form. https://toolset.com/forums/topic/want-cred-form-to-post-to-default-category/

We need help troubleshooting the code since it doesn't seem to be working on our site (perhaps due to a Toolset update since the code was posted?)

Site is Localecopia.org

Try this code instead:

add_action("cred_save_data", "ts_automatically_set_term",10,2);
function ts_automatically_set_term($post_id, $form_data)
{
// if a specific form
if ($form_data["id"]==123)
{
  $category_ids = array(456);  // replace your category ID
  wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $category_ids, 'taxonomyslug');

}

Replace 123 with your Form ID. Replace 456 with the term ID (or a comma-separated list of term IDs). Then replace taxonomyslug with the slug of the taxonomy that contains the term(s).
