New Posts for CPT from Front End – Errors and Problems

In continuation of my testing of CPT Tables, here’s a new experience of trouble that I wish to bring to your attention and possible fix.

1. Local install, with test content.
2. CPTs and Custom Fields created with ACF.
3. CPT Tables successful migration of CPT to own DB tables.
4. Frontend form created with ACF Extended plugin.
5. Logged-in as Subscriber from front-end –> filled in CPT form there –> submitted form.
6. Successful submission, zero errors.
7. Back to backend as Admin.
8. No post found on backend under CPT menu
9. Post instead found under Posts (standard) menu
10. Zero custom field content inside post.
11. Even post title simply reads Post and not the title published from the front-end form.
12. CPT DB table had zero entrries of submitted form from frontend
13. wp_post had entry for submission, but wp_post_meta had zero entry.
14. Repeated the test even as admin user from front-end, same result. A total of 7 repeat submissions, same result.
15. Absence of errors displayed made things messy.
16. Finally, went to CPT Tables Settings and REVERTED the CPT table. This reset the destination of content for the CPT under wp_post and wp_post-meta
17. Repeated the front-end submission again. This time, the submission worked successfully, producing complete capture of submitted content. All custom field content and CPT Title field were successfully captured. All inside wp_post and wp_post_meta.
18. BTW, with CPT Tables migrated –> Admin user –> from backend –> create CPT content –> SUCCESS –> data captured inside wp_cpt and wp_cpt_meta.
19. It is observed that ONLY submissions from front-end for migrated CPT Tables gave the above abnormal observation.

Perhaps you would be able to guess where the issue is and trouble-shoot any bug that may exist? Request you to kindly advise a solution.

Thanks in advance.
