I created a form that does post submission on the front-end, which submits a Custom Post Type with a Custom Taxonomy (created using the ACF plugin). Inside this form, I have a Hidden Field with the custom taxonomy ID value and mapped it to the Post Data Custom Field so that the custom taxonomy is applied to the submitted post.

However, after submitting the form, the taxonomy is not being applied to the post properly. Despite the “post custom data” field inside the post being just well inserted the form value and even the taxonomy checkbox of the post was already checked on the submitted taxonomy ID value.

Meanwhile, If I go into the editor directly from the WP admin panel and save or update the submitted post without making any changes, then it is applied properly. In other words, if I update the post manually on the post editor page without any changes, everything works fine.

I contacted ACF plugin first and they suggested a couple of things to fix the issue, assuming it’s an update_post_meta function issue.

So,
Is there any way to update the taxonomy field using ACF plugin’s update_field() function instead of WordPress update_post_meta function?
Or, is there any way to have the save_post action fired after the form submission?

When using Forminator to submit a post or page, is there a way to specify the parent page and/or the template of the created page?

Regards.

Is that possible with shortcoder ? If so please explain how.
It will be very much helpful.

I am enjoying the ACF Frontend (Premium) so far. Thanks for this great plugin! I sent an email for support couple of days ago and since then have not heard back. Although I found the Pro forum a bit inactive so, I took my chance to explain the issue here. Please let me know if I could get more direct support as a Pro user.

I have a field (ACF picture as an image field) and marked that as required with some requirements. When the user fills the form and even if he/she does not meet the image size requirements, no error will be shown and form could successfully be submitted without the image.

Please take a look at this address and create a test account and submit a post to see it closely:

If needed, I could provide you with admin access.

i have integrated RegistrationMagic (submission form) in blog post,
and after user submit the submission form, the wordpress will reload the whole page, and show the original post content TWICE, and show the successful submission message.

Could RM submit the form with AJAX? and after the submission is success, it popup a dialog with successful message?

Thanks,
Tom
