Problem:
The user looses the default posts' categories menu item when Toolset Types is activated.
Solution:
This may happen because of a compatibility conflict with the theme's or other plugins, or because of a misconfiguration in Toolset->Post Types->Posts(edit), you can access it directly with this URL /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpcf-edit-type&wpcf-post-type=post
Make sure that Categories are checked in the "Taxonomies to be used with" section.
The user wanted the custom user field values from a user ID passed through the generic field in the form notification.
Solution:
Suggested to use the "cred_subject_notification_codes" and "cred_body_notification_codes" filters to register custom placeholders for form notifications.
Example:
add_filter('cred_subject_notification_codes', 'custom_generic_field_notification', 10, 1);
add_filter('cred_body_notification_codes', 'custom_generic_field_notification', 10, 1);
function custom_generic_field_notification( $defaultPlaceHolders ) {
// get the user ID from the generic field 'evaluatee-user-id'
$target_user_ID = $_REQUEST['evaluatee-user-id'];
// get the first name and last name from the $target_user_ID
$user_first_name = do_shortcode("[wpv-user field='user_firstname' id='".$target_user_ID."']");
$user_last_name = do_shortcode("[wpv-user field='user_lastname' id='".$target_user_ID."']");
// set those first name and last name values in the custom placeholders
$newPlaceHolders = array(
'%%evaluatee_first_name%%' => $user_first_name,
'%%evaluatee_last_name%%' => $user_last_name,
);
return array_merge($defaultPlaceHolders, $newPlaceHolders );
}
