Dear Guyk,

I suggest you try with CRED action hook cred_save_data, apply a CRED API cred_save_data to this specific CRED Form and use WordPress API to update the Post Taxonomy with something you hard-coded.

More help:
cred_save_data
This hook allows doing a custom action when post data is saved to database.

Hi

i see this three 'my_custom_field'

my category is this one
taxonomy=product_cat&tag_ID=28

Should I put
'taxonomy' in first
'product_cat' in second
'28' in third

add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']==557)
{
if (isset($_POST['taxonomy']))
{
// add it to saved post meta
add_post_meta($post_id, '__product_cat', $_POST['28'], true);
}
}
}

Thanks

Since it is a custom PHP codes problem, please duplicate same problem in a test site, and fill below private detail box with login details and ftp access, also point out the problem page URL and CRED form URL, and where I can edit your PHP codes, I need a live website to test and debug, thanks
