Hi,

I have a form to edit post categories. Posts can have three categories and the form shows three checkboxes with the current post categories checked.

See hidden link

Now, I need to submit the form when one of the checkboxes is checked/unchecked.

Submit button is removed.

Is it possible?

Thanks!

Hi Jorge,

Thank you for getting in touch.

This is possible but you will have to use custom coding to get this to work.

What you will need to do is adapt the code in the link below to your form in order for it to submit the form.

This code will go to the JS section

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,

Hi Shane,

Thank you for your reply.

This is the code that I have in JS section:

$(".wpt-form-item-checkbox").change(function() {
$(".cred-form").submit();
});

But it doesn't work.

Regards.

Hi Jorge,

Try using this code here

jQuery("input[type='checkbox']").change(function() {
jQuery(".cred-form").submit();
});

I've modified the code some more to submit only the selected form.

jQuery("input[type='checkbox']").change(function() {
jQuery(this).submit();
});

Good job, Shane!

It works fine.

Thank you very much.
