Problem: I would like to set the publish date and time of a post within the CRED Form used to create that post.
Solution: There's no post publish date field built into CRED, so this will require some custom code and a generic field. Add a generic date field to your CRED form, then add this code to functions.php:
add_action('cred_save_data', 'set_post_date_to', 100, 3);
function set_post_date_to($post_id, $form_data) {
if( $form_data['id'] == 12345 ) {
$newDate = $_POST['set-new-date']['datetime'] . ' 00:00:00';
$my_post = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_date' => $newDate,
'post_date_gmt' => $newDate,
'post_status' => 'future'
);
// Update the post into the database
wp_update_post( $my_post );
}
}
- Change the form id 12345 to match your form.
- Change 'set-new-date' to match the slug of your generic date field
