    Hi, I want the trigger to be ‘User publishes a post in a taxonomy’, and for the action to be setting a meta value in a meta key in that same post. I can get it to work apart from getting the post ID from the trigger into the action. I’ve seen the documentation about tags but can’t work out how to get it to work in this example – is it possible?

    Hi @pixelshrink !!

    You just have to open the tag drop-down, select the trigger and the first tag is the post ID.
    By selecting it AutomatorWP will put it in the field directly.

    Hope it helps!

    Thanks very much, I’m not seeing a tag dropdown though – when I click on (Post ID), there’s just a Post ID input box with no tag button as seen on https://automatorwp.com/docs/getting-started/tags/.

    Hi @pixelshrink !

    It should appear without any problem, if it does not appear, it may be due to an incompatibility with another plugin that is causing problems in AutomatorWP, in this case I recommend that you do a conflict test.

    The conflict test is really simple, the unique you need is to switch to a default WordPress theme (to check that conflict doesn’t come from your theme):

    And deactivate plugins one-by-one to find who is causing this issue

    Please, let us know which theme or plugin is causing this issue to contact their authors to request a fix.

    Hope it helps!
