update custom fields with new information

  • Hi

    I’ve add a custom form to my front end of a twentyten theme. which creates a custom post type beautifully for me. but what if I want to add details to the post once its formed? is there a way to update custom fields on a post in the front end?

    Currently trying this but the custom field is not updating

    if( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] && !empty( $_POST['action'] ) && $_POST['post_type'] == 'log' ) {

// ADD THE FORM INPUT TO $new_post ARRAY
	$new_post = array(
	'post_title'	=>	$title,
	'post_content'	=>	$description,
	'post_category'	=>	array($_POST['cat']),  // Usable for custom taxonomies too
	'tags_input'	=>	array($tags),
	'post_status'	=>	'publish',           // Choose: publish, preview, future, draft, etc.
	'post_type'	=>	'log',
	);

wp_insert_post($post);

if($pid)
{
update_post_meta($pid, "complete", sanitize_text_field( $_POST['complete'] ) );
}

} 

do_action('wp_insert_post', 'wp_insert_post');

?>

	<form id="new_post" name="new_post" method="post" action="" class="wpcf7-form" enctype="multipart/form-data">
	<!-- complete Date -->
			<fieldset class="complete">
				<label for="complete">complete Date:</label>
				<input type="text" id="complete" value="" tabindex="5" name="complete" />
			</fieldset>
			<fieldset class="submit">
				<input type="submit" value="publish" tabindex="40" id="submit" name="submit" />
			</fieldset>
</form>
