[Resolved] Sync Categories and Tags conditionally in Types

Hi,

I should have to sync a website's Categories and Tags according to this:
1) User assigns tags to a post being created on frontend (with 3rd party form) and saves it.
2) I'd like Toolset (Types) to assign SOME of these Tags as Categories automatically to the post created,
according to this:
IF term meta of Tags default WP taxonomy named "Is Brand (slug: is-brand, key: ?is_brand?) is TRUE,
then assign this (only these) Tag as Category to this Post

That would be great to be able to do such syncs in Types!

I found, modified and tried this PHP function but it doesn't work:

function assign_categories_based_on_brand_tags( $post_id ) {
    $args = array( 'fields' => 'name' );
    $tags = wp_get_post_tags( $post_id, $args );
    $tag_names = implode( ', ', $tags );
    $is_brand = wp_get_term_meta( $term_id, $key = 'is_brand' );
    if ( $is_brand ) {
		wp_set_post_categories( $post_id, $tag_names, true );
	}
}

but this doesn't work 🙁

Thank you!

Hello,

You need to trigger you custom PHP function with some action hook, for example WP built-in action hook save_post, see WP document:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/save_post/
Fires once a post has been saved.
