I want the custom post types for farms and restaurants on my site to not display the post name in their permalinks, using only the post ID instead. This is because I’m building a paid member directory, and displaying the name in the URL could give away sensitive information.
Solution:
The URL structure of custom post types is managed by WordPress settings, not Toolset. To achieve ID-based URLs, go to WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and set the structure to "Plain".
Alternatively, using a plugin like "Custom Post Type Permalinks" can help customize the permalink structure to meet your needs.
I am having an issue with adding default text to multi-select taxonomy filters in Toolset, as the default_label only works for select taxonomy filters.
Solution:
To add a value-less option with the desired text to the multi-select input, use the following JavaScript code:
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
// Get the select element
const selectElement = document.querySelector('select[name="wpv-offering[]"]');
// Create a new option element
const defaultOption = document.createElement('option');
defaultOption.value = 'any';
defaultOption.text = 'Any';
// Set the new option as the default selected option
defaultOption.selected = true;
// Add the new option to the beginning of the select element
selectElement.insertBefore(defaultOption, selectElement.firstChild);
});
This code waits for the DOM content to be loaded, gets the select element, creates a new option element, sets it as the default selected option, and adds it to the beginning of the select element.
Problem:
Posts created with a Toolset Form that are set to expire send a warning notification ahead of the expiration.
If a post is trashed, how can those notifications be turned off?
Solution:
Details of the notification are stored in a hidden custom field '_cred_post_expiration_notifications', and this field can be deleted when a post is trashed, using the wp_trash_post hook.
Problem:
How to change a user's role when payment is made through Toolset Forms Commerce and then change it back again when the related post expires.
Solution:
The API hook cred_commerce_after_order_completed can be used to trigger code which changes the user role using the standard set_role method.
Reverting the role when the related post expires is slightly trickier, as there is no Toolset API hook for when a post expires.
In this case, when a post expires it is changed to draft status.
You can use the standard WP hooks that are triggered when changing a custom post status to draft (e.g. the draft_project hook for a project post type) to check when a post of the relevant type is changed to draft status, and then check whether the post expiration time has passed (meaning the change to draft was likely triggered by the expiration) using the value stored in a hidden custom field '_cred_post_expiration_time' that can be retrieved with get_post_meta.
