Problem

How to add Custom Post Fields to my posts with Toolset?

Solution

To add Custom Field to a Post Type, you need first to create those fields.

In Toolset > Post Fields > New, you can add a new Group of Fields.
This group can be restricted to a post type only if you want.

Then, you start to add fields and save this group.

Then, in a single post where you assigned the Post Fields to, you can add values to the fields.

Hi,

I created a custom post type called 'offres d'emploi' (job offers)
Now I want users to complete these exact fields & submit using a front end form in my page 'publier une offre d'emploi' (publish job offers)

Can you help as I only manage to get the job name and the job description... all other fields such as job type, contract type, etc are missing.

Thanks in advance
Eric

Could you check the login data again?

The Custom Fields, if you created them in Toolset > Post Fields, will appear in the CRED Forms once you do these steps:
- Open the CRED From in Toolset > Post Forms
- Select the Post Type to edit or create, what to do after the form is submitted
- Then click on "autogenerate form". This will include all the Custom Fields as well.

Save and insert the Form to a page.

Please let me know if you still do not see the fields after those steps.

Thanks, they worked now.

Please if possible update your software, as it's outdated (Theme, Plugins).

You have as well no Custom Fields at all unless the ones added by WooCommerce Views.
Hence it is expected that in the CRED Form, no custom field but those will be inserted.

To add Custom Field to a Post Type, and later include them in a CRED Form, you need first to create and populate those fields.

In Toolset > Post Fields > New, you can add a new Group of Fields.
This group can be restricted to a post type only if you want.

Then, you start to add fields and save this group.

Then, in a single post where you assigned the Post Fields to, you can add values to the fields.
After in a CRED Form that applies to your post type, those fields will be inserted automatically if the form is autogenerated, or you'll find them in the button "Add post Fields" section "Custom Fields".
