Problem:
How to trigger some custom code at some interval before a post created with CRED expires?
Solution:
CRED allows you to send notification emails at certain intervals before the related post expires.
The only hook that is fired at that time that can be used to trigger some custom code is the cred_notification_recipients filter that can be used to modify who the notification is sent to.
So we can create a dummy notification that is sent, say, 30 days before expiration, to some admin address, and then use that filter to trigger our code.
Problem:
The "noautop" for Post Content does not work.
It still outputs formatted content.
Solution:
The ShortCode wpv-post-body does not have a "format" attribute.
The attribute does not exist, and should not be used in this ShortCode.
The Post body ShortCode instead supports the following attributes:
'view_template' => The name of a Content template to use when displaying the post content.
'suppress_filters' => Returns the post body with just the natural WordPress filters applied
'output' => [ normal | raw | inherit ]
This last one works only if view_template="None" and will produce the Post Body with wpautop, without wpautop or inherited from the parent Template when applicable
Hence this is the attribute you want to use:
output="raw"
We currently have no solution for this as this script was not meant to work with wordpress or wasn't made wordpress compatible because even on a clean installation with non of our plugins the issue was still present where the script was generating errors in the console.
The alternative is to use the embedded form or a mailchimp form plugin to have your subscription form.
Problem:
Found 2 elements with non-unique id and throwing javascript error with CRED form when using one field multiple time
Solution:
Well - You need to make sure that you should have added each field one time within the CRED form. You should not add same field with same name.
The issue here is that the user wanted to know if they could setup a crowdfunding goal with just the use of the toolset plugins only.
Solution:
This would be possible to achieve with toolset but would require some amount of work and custom coding to setup.
There are plugins out there that are dedicated for this and I was able to find one with a quick search
@https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crowdfunding/#description
This might be better suited for your proposed project that just using toolset alone.
Problem: I have a generic field in a CRED edit form. This field should be populated with the value of a custom field. The code I had in place before updating to CRED 1.9.4 was working, but now the generic field is not set correctly. Now, the generic field is showing the excerpt of the current page rather than the excerpt of the post being edited.
Solution:
Add explicit context to the CRED form to ensure the correct post values are being displayed. In this particular case, the editing post ID is passed into the CRED form using a URL parameter. We will use the same URL parameter to supply context to the generic field value shortcode:
[cred_generic_field field='post_content_substitute' type='textarea' class='new-textarea' urlparam='' placeholder='Write a few words...']
{
"required":1,
"validate_format":0,
"default":"[wpv-post-excerpt format='noautop' id='[wpv-search-term param='post_id']']",
"persist":1
}

Problem: I have a CRED form where Users can supply the URL of a YouTube video. I would like to store the video ID in a custom field so I can use it later in a shortcode.
Solution:
Use the following cred_save_data function to parse the URL and determine the YT video ID, then save that value into a custom field on the post.
add_action('cred_save_data', 'cred_format_youtube_video_id',10,2);
function cred_format_youtube_video_id($post_id, $form_data)
{
// if a specific form
$forms = array(12,9876);
if (in_array($form_data['id'], $forms))
{
if (isset($_POST['my_custom_video_field']))
{
$link = $_POST['my_custom_video_field'];
$video_id = explode("?v=", $link); // http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
if (empty($video_id[1])) {
$video_id = explode("/v/", $link); // http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/..
}
if (empty($video_id[1])) {
$video_id = explode("/youtu.be/", $link); // https://youtu.be/...
}
$video_id = explode("&", $video_id[1]); // Deleting any other params
$video_id = $video_id[0]; // here is your required video ID
// update post meta with video ID
update_post_meta($post_id, '__my_custom_video_field', $video_id);
}
}
}
Change 12,9876 to be a comma-separated list of all the forms where this custom functionality should be applied.
