Display taxonomies in pods form

Taxonomy display (and selection) from the default WordPress Taxonomy metabox does not work on our built-in forms. You’d need to use Gravity Forms (with our Add-on) or Caldera Forms with their Custom Fields Add-on.

If you’re just trying to set the Taxonomy automatically (and not allow the user a selection choice), you can either set the field to hidden or use this code (as referenced in the link above):

<?php  
add_action( 'pods_api_post_save_pod_item_films', 'my_tax_update', 10, 3 ); 

function my_tax_update( $pieces, $is_new_item, $id ) { 

     //get the value of the 'genre' field 
     $term = (int) $pieces[ 'fields' ][ 'genre' ][ 'value' ]; 

     //if there is nothing there set $term to null to avoid errors 
     if ( empty( $term ) ) { $term = null; } 

     //Set the term for taxonomy 'genres' with $term 
     wp_set_object_terms( $id, $term, 'genres', false ); 
}

It does require, as that document indicates, a relationship field to the taxonomy in your Pod (and in the form) that is the value that is being written to the taxonomy. In the above example, ‘genre’ is a relationship field to the ‘genres’ taxonomy. When the user selects the genre from the list, it writes it to the ‘genres’ taxonomy. I also believe that example is using single select, not multiple select.

Haven’t heard back from you since we replied, so I’m going to go ahead and mark this issue as resolved. If you’re still having an issue, please feel free to re-open this ticket or open a new one.

Thank you I got it.
