Extra Save Lines Not Updating Database

Hi David, could you share what you’ve done or the errors being thrown? If you don’t see any errors, make sure you have WP_DEBUG turned on in the wp-config.php file. If we can get an error, that would really help in determining what the problem is.

The sample code is running within a plugin of mine and doesn’t have any issues so I’d be surprised if there’s a problem there. ??

Thanks for the reply. WP_DEBUG isn’t helping any. I’ve posted my code for you.

I installed your code and tried it out and it looks like you aren’t checking to see if the status setting on the field is set to 1 properly. You have:

if ($_POST[$field_name] == 1) {

And it should be:

if ($_POST['_' . $field_name . '_status'] == 1 && $_POST['_' . $field_name] != "") {

In fact, why don’t you do it like this:

$fields = array(
	"cms_code",
	"inpatient_hospital",
	"inpatient_mental",
	"skilled_nursing",
	"hospice_care",
	"primary_care",
	"etc.....",
);

//Save Your Fields
foreach ($fields as $field_name) {
	if ($_POST['_' . $field_name . '_status'] == 1 && $_POST['_' . $field_name] != "") {
		cfbe_save_meta_data($field_name, $_POST[$field_name]);
	}
}

See https://github.com/sparkweb/foxyshop/blob/master/bulkeditor.php for details on how it’s working in the plugin.

Thanks for your time on this. After some fiddling I’ve got to move on without this, unfortunately. Even with the changes (here) I still appear to be missing something.

Your field names and statuses don’t have the underscore in front.

foreach ($fields as $field_name) {
	if ($_POST[$field_name . '_status'] == 1 && $_POST[$field_name] != "") {
		cfbe_save_meta_data($field_name, $_POST[$field_name]);
	}
}

Brilliant. Thank you so much! I’m sending something your way for all the trouble.

Thanks so much. Glad you got it working!
