json error when mapping form fields to post meta-fields

that’s odd indeed. can you post a copy of your form HTML code here so I can test it on my server

Hey thanks for the quick reply, the form can be found here: https://bladetrader.com.au/sell-your-blade/

I just remembered that i had to change some of the custom field names at one point. Not sure if that has anything to do with it?

For example i changed your-phone to a_your-phone, and your-name to a_your-name

I meant the code from the form editor itself.

thanks, it works fine for me.

can you try and create a new form and paste this html code in the new form to see if the json error persists

Hey,

I copied the code into a new form and It looks like it works when i try to link it to the standard WordPress post, however the error persists when i try to link it to my custom post type ‘Advertisements’.

It also works if i link to the other custom post type that i have, just not the one i need. Is there a way to ‘refresh’ the json on a custom post type?

I used the CPT UI plugin to make the custom post type and it has worked perfectly. This is the only problem i have had with it

Another thing, i went into PHPmyAdmin and looked at the wp_terms table. I found a few duplicates in there which i deleted. I thought i was on the right track but it still doesn’t work

I used the CPT UI plugin to make the custom post type and it has worked perfectly. This is the only problem i have had with it

as a rule of thumb I always recommend that mapping to new custom post type should be handled by the plugin itself rather than creating the post type with another plugin and then mapping it to the newly created existing post type. However, that shouldn’t cause json errors.

Can you please reach out to me on vrata at syllogic dot in

Hello,

So i might need to completely remake the custom post type?

I tried syllogic.in but i think the website is down? “This site can’t be reached”

Can you please reach out to me on vrata at syllogic dot in
