How to edit a custom post type on front end form using CMB2?
-
I have created a form on the front end for a custom post type using CMB2 (https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2). I am now trying to edit the custom post types using the same form.
I can display the post variables on the page no problem but I am having issues getting the variables to display in the relevant input field so that they can be edited. However, files that I uploaded for that post using file_list are displayed.
I cannot find any information about editing and would appreciate any help.
I have tried using the ID of the inputs, so if the ID of a field is ‘_cmb_title’, I have tried $cmb_title = $post_values->post_title;
Full code is below:
