[Resolved] Autodraft saved by CRED

[Author]

I have a form which, when saved, creates a post and an auto draft (which is expected), but [only] the custom fields on the form are saving to the auto draft and not to the post. Is this behavior normal and should I wait for cron to run for the actual post data to be updated? Screenshots for reference.

Interesting to note that the post does not contain any CF data, only post title and post body.
Auto draft contains no title and body, but all CF data.

The site has been developed on top of the Toolset Classifieds demo.

No, the issue you see is a compatibility problem between CRED and Relevannsi, I already reported this to the Developers yesterday.
The Erratum is here:
https://toolset.com/errata/cred-auto-draft-posts-created-when-relevannsi-cred-and-featured-images-are-used/

[pamelaB-2]

Thank you for the quick response. I will use the workaround in the meantime.

[pamelaB-2]

Workaround rightly disables the progress bar, but the following error occurs on save:

The post was not saved because of the following problem:

Image Please enter a valid URL address pointing to the image file.

[Beda]

Yes, this is the drawback, all AJAX validation is omitted with that workaround.
It means the system cannot check the validity until you it submit.

I assume, you have some restrictions on the server, or upload an unusual source - I am not sure, as on a fresh install this does not happen, as well as on other client's sites where I suggested the workaround this does not happen.

For now, it's the only way I know of to remove the issue - unless remove the Featured Image from the Forms, this is another possible approach.

I escalated this, the Developers thou received this yesterday only, as we where not aware of it before.
I marked the issue as major, because that is what it is, and I expect the Developers to put their hands on this by next week.

Please await the supporters to be assigned here, they may help to solve this issue you experience now.

[pamelaB-2]

I will leave the ticket open for now, thank you.

I will disable Relevanssi instead until the problem is resolved.

Thanks again for quick support!

[Beda]

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I will notify you when the issue is fixed.
