Multiple Front End Forms

  • I’m using the example here to use shortcodes to build multiple front end forms. However, only the 1st form I call from my plugin will post to the correct CPT. Everything else defaults to a standard post and draft status, even though I’m setting the attribute to post_status' => 'publish',. I even tried overriding the status and post_type in the short code.

    The form display fine on front end and saves, just as I said, not to its CPT.

    All of my functions are named differently, no apparent PHP errors.

    Any insight greatly appreciated.

    The odd part about that line is that if you’re reaching that unset part, then the previous contents from $_POST['atts'] should now be in your $post_data variable, ready to be passed into the wp_insert_post() down on line 520

    I truthfully can’t explain it unless cmb2_after_init is loading on every page load, thus the 1st call to it (paper in my case) blocks the subsequent attempts to set the attributes.

    All I know is I commented out those lines in all of my CPT & was able to create new posts on the front end with no *apparent* issues.

    This is a mu-plugin in a multi-site install (which I think I failed to mention) but wouldn’t think that would make a difference.

    If you’re satisfied with what you have now, I may carry on. If you still need me checking on anything, let me know.

    You did mention the mu part and I was emulating that part. The Multisite detail wasn’t mentioned previously though. I don’t think that’s going to play a part in it at all, since $_POST won’t care.

    Yes, it is working for me. Didn’t know if you had any thoughts on why it might be firing on other pages, but I can mark this resolved. I’ll leave the gist out there in case someone else comes along with a similar problem.
