Tell us what you are trying to do?

I have up to 6 scoring questions each with a possible score of up to 10 - chosen by select field. I would like to add these scores to store a total score.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

I have tried using this but it just returns 0

function calculate_fields( $post_ID ) {

if ( get_post_type( $post_ID ) == 'application1' ) {

$totalscore = $score1 + $score2 + $score3 + $score4 + $score5 + $score6;
$score1 = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-assessment-criteria-score-1',true);
$score2 = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-assessment-criteria-score-2',true);
$score3 = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-assessment-criteria-score-3',true);
$score4 = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-assessment-criteria-score-4',true);
$score5 = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-assessment-criteria-score-5',true);
$score6 = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-assessment-criteria-score-6',true);

update_post_meta( $post_ID, 'wpcf-cja-longlist-score', $totalscore );

}

}
add_action( 'save_post', 'calculate_fields', 99 );

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']==561) {
calculate_fields( $post_id );
}

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Looking into the code, the line that is calculating the total score should be placed after the field values have been stored in their variables:

$score1 = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-assessment-criteria-score-1',true);
$score2 = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-assessment-criteria-score-2',true);
$score3 = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-assessment-criteria-score-3',true);
$score4 = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-assessment-criteria-score-4',true);
$score5 = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-assessment-criteria-score-5',true);
$score6 = get_post_meta($post_ID, 'wpcf-assessment-criteria-score-6',true);

$totalscore = $score1 + $score2 + $score3 + $score4 + $score5 + $score6;

This should do the trick.

regards,
Waqar
