Category ID being stored instead of category

  • I am sure I am doing something really stupid, but I can trying to create a front end form for a registered user to submit a product as draft to be reviewed before purchase.

    I have been able to use check boxes or multiple select to show the options on the front end, but when the form is submitted, instead of the item being created with the selected category or brand as part of the product the product is created with new categories created from the term id???

    ie cat2 ==> taxonomy=product_cat&tag_ID=17

    When the form is submitted “cat2” is selected

    Product added but not to “cat2” – product is added to newly created “17” category – taxonomy=product_cat&tag_ID=56

    how do I stop creating new categories on each form submission??! and add the products the the category selected?

    I am getting the same issue with the brand tazonomies so I am sure it’s me!!!

    Any help appreciated!!! thanks!
