I have two forms

Add new artwork (ID: 27215) and Add new written work (ID: 27221) - when the user completes them the status is set to pending review.

I want the new artwork form to be set to the category artworks and the other written work.

I have created the function below but it doesn't seemt to set the categories.

add_action('cred_save_data', 'add_review_terms_automatically',10,2);
function add_review_terms_automatically($post_id, $form_data) {
$forms = array( 27215, 27221 );
$post_terms = array();
if ( in_array( $form_data['id'], $forms ) )
{
if($form_data['id'] == 27215){
$post_terms = array('artwork');
}

if($form_data['id'] == 27221) {
$post_terms = array('written-work');
}

wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $post_terms, 'review-category', false);
}
}

Cab you see what the issue is.

Many thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

There looks some coding mistake in your hook.

Can you please try to use the following code and try to resolve your issue:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'add_review_terms_automatically',10,2);
function add_review_terms_automatically($post_id, $form_data) {
 
$post_terms = array();
 if($form_data['id'] == 27215){
	$post_terms = array('artwork');
}

if($form_data['id'] == 27221) {
	$post_terms = array('written-work');
}

wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $post_terms, 'review-category', false);

}

Please make sure that term slug and taxonomy slug you are using is correct.

Unfortunately it didn't work.

I have checked the form ids and the slugs and the are correct.

Do you have any other ideas?

Many thanks

I need access details to check what's going wrong with your install. Please share the problem URL where you added the form and access details.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Unfortunately, the access details you shared is not working at this end.

When I try to login to wp-admin, it says:

"The password you entered for the email address mark.james@scip.org.uk is incorrect."

Can you please send me working access details.

I checked on your install and I found that you are using the wrong taxonomy slug. I see taxonomy you are using is the default category: hidden link

I've changed the following line of code:

wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $post_terms, 'review-category', false);

To

wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $post_terms, 'category', false);

Then I've added two dummy entry "toolset test 1" for artwork form and "toolset test 2" for written work form and I see its terms are associated correctly. Can you please confirm it works at your end as well.

Thank you for your help with this - I can see where I have made a mistake.

Hopefully it will help other people too.

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
