I am trying to:using cred api with user registration to populate post as user is created. I was making progress and api was being called and could see console write coming back so I could see it was in the function. Then it completely stopped and is not calling the function for any cred user form but seems to be working for cred post form. Please help as have spent hours working on this and have trashed a lot of code to try to figure it out. I have tried 3 user form to see if they even hit the cred save function and none of them do. the post form does hit the same function on save.

Link to my site:

I expected to see:

Instead, I got:

code is
add_action('cred_save_data', 'add_parent_inquiry1',10,2);
function add_parent_inquiry1($post_id, $form_data){
debug_to_console('You posted: add_parent_inquiry1');
}

function debug_to_console( $data ) {
if(is_array($data) || is_object($data))
{
echo("<script>console.log('PHP: ".json_encode($data)."');</script>");
} else {
echo("<script>console.log('PHP: ".$data."');</script>");
}
}
this function works for posts

Hi, I'll try to help. Have you tried using the PHP error log? I see you are trying to write messages to the JavaScript console on-the-fly, which might be part of the problem. First, I would like to remove the JavaScript console logging from the process to narrow down the issue. Go in your wp-config.php file and look for define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false). Change it to:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

Then add these lines, just before it says 'stop editing here':

ini_set('log_errors',TRUE);
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('error_log', dirname(__FILE__) . '/error_log.txt');

Then change your cred_save_data callback:

function add_parent_inquiry1($post_id, $form_data){
  error_log('You posted: add_parent_inquiry1'); // basic string
  error_log($post_id . '<br />'); // you can append markup like this
  error_log(print_r($form_data, true)); // log the contents of an array or associative array
}

Submit the CRED form. If your callback is being fired at all, this will create an error_log.txt file in your site's root directory. Verify the callback is logging to the error log as expected. If not, we know that we need to investigate elsewhere. Let me know the results.

Got is resolved. It seems that on certain occasions that the console writes were not getting called. I used the echo and exit in the function to check that it was working and all looks fine now.
