PS - I also noticed that I get an error message when editing forms now, which didn't start until I upgraded to the latest beta release. For example, when I try to click on "Auto Generate Form" it says "Form Type or Post Type is not set."

Hi Aron,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Could you provide me with admin access to the site so that I can have a look at this for you ?

Also could you let me know the form that is having this issue.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Aaron,

Based on what is happening on the form, i believe this one might be a plugin conflict.

Would you mind temporarily disabling all the non-toolset plugins and trying again

Thanks,
Shane

The only non-Toolset plugin that was still activated was Error Log Monitor. I've deactivated it so now only Toolset plugins are enabled and the problem is still occurring.

Hi Aaron,

Would you mind if I took a duplicator package from your website for further testing ?

Thanks,
Shane

No that's perfectly fine. Do you need me to do anything for you or are you able to do it with your admin access?

Hi Aaron,

It seems the issue is only coming from your ad and ad responses CPT.

Could you try deleting these CPT and remaking them?

Thanks,
Shane

If I delete and recreate the CPT's, will it make me choose new slugs for the CPT's? This would just mean I have to go through and update any references to it in the site.

Do I also need to delete and recreate the custom field groups or will these "re-associate" with the CPT once I recreate the CPT?

Thanks.

PS: I tried deactivating the CPT and seeing if any of my forms started working, but they are still showing the same error. Will wait to try a full delete and rebuild until you answer those couple of questions.

Hi Aaron,

I've tested this and you can use the same CPT slug for these CPT.

Once the CPT is deleted in Types you can then just remake it. Thats all.

Thanks,
Shane

I deleted and recreated both the ad and ad response CPT's and the problem is still occurring. Are you sure this doesn't have anything to do with the upgrade to the latest beta version? This is what immediately happened right before I started experiencing problems.

Hi Aaron,

I'm going to escalate this for further debugging by our team.

Thanks,

Thanks - I have a hunch it's related to another ticket I have open (this ticket was split off of the original one):

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/fatal-error-displaying-post-after-upgrade-to-layouts-2-3-rc2/

Both issues seem to be related to relationships, and they started happening at the same time.

I have asked on the other thread, but have not received a response, regarding whether or not I'm supposed to change the cred_field "_wpcf_belongs..." field inside all the CRED forms. If I can get an answer to this, I would like to try migrating my site to the new relationships structure, but the wizard has told me my forms would have compatibility issues related to the _wpcf_belogs fields. I'd like to see if migrating relationships fixes the problem but am afraid to break anything further.

Thanks again for the help.

Hi Aaron,

Thank you for the patience.

I've gotten news from our team that this was fixed in our latest update.

Could you update to Toolset Forms RC3 and let me know if it helps.

Thanks,
Shane

I can confirm the problem has been resolved with the release of Forms RC3. Thanks for the help.
