Hi there,

Is there a way to get the form id of a form from its slug using php?

Thanks - Mark

Hi Mark,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

You should be able to as the forms are stored in the wp_posts table.

Here is an example of how it can be done

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks Shane,

Trying to retrieve the form post using get_posts(), which was my first approach didn't work for an unknown reason.

Using either wp_query( $args ) or get_post( $id ) can retrieve the form post, but the solution I preferred used get_page_by_path() as described in the stack exchange question you suggested:

Below is my solution for updating post titles on CRED save according to the form name:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'update_document',10,2);
function update_document($post_id, $form_data ){
		$forms = array(
			get_page_by_path('coordinator-new',OBJECT,'cred-form')->ID,
			get_page_by_path('coordinator-edit',OBJECT,'cred-form')->ID			
		);
	
	    if (in_array( $form_data['id'], $forms, false ) )  {	
    	if(isset($_POST['wpcf-first-name']) || isset($_POST['wpcf-last-name']) ){
			$custom_title = $_POST['wpcf-first-name'].' '.$_POST['wpcf-last-name'];
			$custom_slug = sanitize_title_with_dashes( $custom_title );
			/*update the title and slug */
			$my_doc = array(
			'ID'         => $post_id,
			'post_title' => $custom_title,
			'post_name'  => $custom_slug,             
			); 
			wp_update_post( $my_doc );
			}
		}	
	}
