Yes, that’s right ?? ,

I guessed from the codes in “Assigned Terms”, I tested and things happened, I have the exact ID [“name”]=> string(5) “20029” , which I wanted to autofill, just wanted to test it “live on the site” if everything works before confirming here. It even works perfectly with a form tag ‘Dynamic Hidden’

I’m just wondering which of the two shortcodes is more correct, why both give the same result and if there is any significance? I mean id_jobs and job_id ….does it matter or whatever is used is ok ?

[dynamictext id_jobs "akewizjg_job_id"]

[dynamic_text job_id "akewizjg_job_id"]
Sincere thanks for your help, I couldn’t have done it without the var_dump() code really.

We can mark it as a resolved case ?? Thanks again. ?? ?? ??

Ok, sorry for the slow response ?? If I understood correctly, the code should look like this:

function akewizjg_job_id() {
// Get the current post ID using WordPress function (in case the other one isn't available)
$post_id = get_the_ID();

// Check if the post ID is valid
if (!$post_id) return 'No post ID found'; // Bail on failure with an error message

// Define the custom taxonomy slug here
$taxonomy = 'id_jobs'; // Ensure this is the correct slug from CPT UI (replace 'id_jobs' with the actual slug if different)

// Get the terms associated with the current post for the custom taxonomy
$terms = get_the_terms($post_id, $taxonomy);

// Check if terms are returned and if they are an array
if (!is_array($terms)) return "Terms did not return an array for {$taxonomy} for post {$post_id}";

// Check if the array of terms has any entries
if (!count($terms)) return "No terms found assigned to post {$post_id}";

// Use var_dump to output terms for debugging in the test environment
var_dump('Assigned Terms', $terms); // Dump the terms variable to the page for inspection

// Return the term ID of the first term
return $terms[0]->term_id; // Use term_id to return the custom taxonomy term ID
}
add_shortcode('akewizjg_job_id', 'akewizjg_job_id');

There is no change in the fields of the contact form, but you most likely want to see the code that appears under the header of the page –“Assigned Terms” . I will copy it here for clarity:

string(14) "Assigned Terms" array(1) { [0]=> object(WP_Term)#1885 (10) { ["term_id"]=> int(32) ["name"]=> string(5) "20029" ["slug"]=> string(5) "20029" ["term_group"]=> int(0) ["term_taxonomy_id"]=> int(32) ["taxonomy"]=> string(7) "id_jobs" ["description"]=> string(0) "" ["parent"]=> int(0) ["count"]=> int(1) ["filter"]=> string(3) "raw" } } string(14) "Assigned Terms" array(1) { [0]=> object(WP_Term)#1888 (10) { ["term_id"]=> int(32) ["name"]=> string(5) "20029" ["slug"]=> string(5) "20029" ["term_group"]=> int(0) ["term_taxonomy_id"]=> int(32) ["taxonomy"]=> string(7) "id_jobs" ["description"]=> string(0) "" ["parent"]=> int(0) ["count"]=> int(1) ["filter"]=> string(3) "raw" } }

Hi Tessa ?? ,

Thank you so much for your response – I really appreciate it. But something strange happens and it shows another ‘ID number’ than the custom taxonomy term ID I want or the one added by WordPress.

I tested with the code you gave just replaced the taxonomy’s slug ‘jobs-id‘ here:

 // For simplicity's sake, define custom taxonomy here    
$taxonomy = 'jobs-id'; // I'm assuming this is your custom taxonomy's slug

with the one based on my setup in CPT UI – ‘id_jobs‘. taxonomy slug

Here you can see screenshot of the mail template: form template

… and what the test page with the contact form looks like: screenshot of the page See the correct Dynamic ID JOB: 20029 and the wrong one “32”, which I have no idea where it generated from. Any ideas what’s wrong and where it’s coming from?

Thank you. ??

p.s. I also tested a code that generated a chat GPT based on the one you give and it says: “The following function retrieves the term ID of your custom taxonomy id_jobs and returns it for use in Contact Form 7. Key Changes:

• get_the_ID() replaces wpcf7dtx_get_post_id(false) to retrieve the post ID, which is more reliable unless you specifically need the helper function.
• update the dynamic text field in your Contact Form 7 form to use the new shortcode:[dynamictext job_id "CF7_get_post_var key='akewizjg_job_id'"]

function akewizjg_job_id() {
    // Get the current post ID using WordPress function (in case the other one isn't available)
    $post_id = get_the_ID();

    if (!$post_id) return ''; // Bail on failure

    // Define the custom taxonomy slug here
    $taxonomy = 'id_jobs'; // Ensure this is the correct slug from CPT UI (replace 'id_jobs' with the actual slug if different)

    // Get the terms associated with the current post for the custom taxonomy
    $terms = get_the_terms($post_id, $taxonomy);

    // Bail if no terms are found or if the result is not an array
    if (!is_array($terms) || !count($terms)) return '';

    // Return the term ID of the first term
    return $terms[0]->term_id; // Use term_id to return the custom taxonomy term ID
}
add_shortcode('akewizjg_job_id', 'akewizjg_job_id');

I had to try…. however, nothing changed and the field remained empty. ??
