Problem: I would like to use a CRED form to create a child post. When the post is saved, I would like to copy some custom fields from the parent and grandparent posts into the child post.
Solution: Use the CRED API cred_save_data method to automate this process. The link between parent / child posts is saved as a custom field on the child post with the name syntax "_wpcf_belongs_" + parent post type slug + "_id". Here is an example:
add_action('cred_save_data', 'save_parent_fields_to_child_fields',10,2);
function save_parent_fields_to_child_fields($post_id, $form_data) {
// update this to match your CRED form ID
if ($form_data['id'] == 12345)
{
// get the parent chosen in CRED form and use that to get parent and grandparent information
$parent_id = $_POST['_wpcf_belongs_werknemers_id'];
$parent_first_name = get_post_meta($parent_id, 'wpcf-voornaam-medewerker', true);
$parent_last_name = get_post_meta($parent_id, 'wpcf-achternaam-medewerker', true);
$grandparent_id = get_post_meta($parent_id, '_wpcf_belongs_werkgever_id', true);
$grandparent_first_name = get_post_meta($grandparent_id, 'wpcf-voornaam-werkgever', true);
$grandparent_last_name = get_post_meta($grandparent_id, 'wpcf-achternaam-werkgever', true);
// set the child post custom field values
update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-voornaam-medewerker', $parent_first_name );
update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-achternaam-medewerker', $parent_last_name );
update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-voornaam-werkgever', $grandparent_first_name );
update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-achternaam-werkgever', $grandparent_last_name );
}
}
Problem: I have a custom search View with multiple taxonomy filters. I would like to show the results "empty" until the User selects a filter. I also would like to use the Advanced Option "Only show available inputs".
Solution:
Use the following custom filter code:
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query_post_process', 'drop_empty_search_query_post_process', 10, 3 );
function drop_empty_search_query_post_process( $query, $view_settings, $view_id ) {
$ids = array(10243);
if (in_array($view_id, $ids)){
if (
// taxonomy filter needs to check for not '0' as well as not empty
( isset($_GET['wpv-ccb_core_group_area']) && $_GET['wpv-ccb_core_group_area'] != '0' )
||
// taxonomy filter needs to check for not '0' as well as not empty
( isset($_GET['wpv-ccb_core_group_day']) && $_GET['wpv-ccb_core_group_day'] != '0' )
||
// taxonomy filter needs to check for not '0' as well as not empty
( isset($_GET['wpv-ccb_core_group_time']) && $_GET['wpv-ccb_core_group_time'] != '0' )
||
// taxonomy filter needs to check for not '0' as well as not empty
( isset($_GET['wpv-ccb_core_group_type']) && $_GET['wpv-ccb_core_group_type'] != '0' )
||
// initial load fix for "only show available inputs", this input does not exist
( isset($_GET['wpv_update_check']) )
) {
} else {
$query->posts = array();
$query->found_posts = 0;
$query->post_count = 0;
}
}
return $query;
}
Problem: When I try to activate CRED I am shown a Fatal Error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/path/to/wp-content/plugins/cred-frontend-editor/library/toolset/cred/embedded/loader.php' (include_path='.:/path/to/root/usr/share/pear') in /path/to/wp-content/plugins/cred-frontend-editor/library/toolset/cred/plugin.php on line 95
When I try to upload the loader.php file manually, it is immediately deleted from the server.
Solution: Your host is inaccurately flagging this file as a virus, or as malware, or for some other reason that is out of our control. You must ask your host to whitelist this file and upload CRED again.
Problem: I would like to use Divi Builder to customize my WordPress Archive pages
Solution: You can use Content Templates in a WordPress Archive, and Content Templates can be designed with Divi Builder. You cannot edit Content Templates directly inside the WordPress Archive editor, you must use the Content Template editor. A button in the WordPress Archive editor will direct you to the template editor page.
Problem:
How can I create a paginated list of my posts?
Solution:
You can create a View or Post Archive with Toolset Views.
Then, in the Loop output whatever you need to display for these posts.
As well click on the "Pagination" button in the GUI, while positioning the mouse cursor somewhere outside the tags.
Then, choose the pagination you want and insert it.
Problem:
I installed the Beta Plugins of Toolset and see issues that I want to report. How can I do this?
Solution:
The same way as you would report other issues.
You can open a ticket in our forums and describe the issue so we can help.
Usually, we will not fix issues within a beta Plugin, but acknowledge them and make sure, once a stable (or next beta) is released, these issues are taken in consideration.
Also general feedback on beta products or the plugins in general is always welcome.
