Taxonomies and Gravity Forms 2.5.0.1

I am having the same issue.

The code posted here works for now: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/taxonomy-is-not-saving-after-updating-to-3-1-16/

This should be resolved in 3.1.19. Sorry for the trouble!

In 3.1.20 with latest Gravity Forms (2.5.5.1) and this is definitely not working. I’ve tried both checkboxes and radio buttons, post does get created with respect to correct CPT and status (publish/draft), but the taxonomy mapping does not apply.

@tderkowski I tested it with a Single Line Text, Checkboxes, and Radio, and the taxonomies were saved to the post.

Can you provide details on how to set up a test form to reproduce the issue?

Thanks!

Context:

We had a form working with this for many years, it recently stopped working. We have post fields for title (mapped to CPT), body text, and some custom fields we’re mapping. Nothing crazy. Then we’ve added a checkbox/radio, gone to advanced, enabled the populate by taxonomy, selected the correct taxonomy, the values do auto-populate, but when selecting one the generated post does not have any term applied.

Our posts are created as drafts, so perhaps that is a variable worth investigating – maybe publishing immediately would apply the term.

@tderkowski

I created a form with exactly that (Post Title, Post Body, Custom Field, and Drop Down mapped to Taxonomies) and unfortunately still can’t reproduce the issue.

It worked with a default post status of both publish and draft.

I’m adding the Custom Post Type and Custom Taxonomy using https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/pods/. I also configured the taxonomy as hierarchical and non-hierarchical, and it worked with both.

Is there any sort of debug mode or error logging we can look into? Or any troubleshooting tips you’d recommend? Unfortunately it’s kind of a black box: no console errors, no PHP errors logged, etc.

We’ve gone as far as pulling down a dev copy of the site and ripping out all other plugins (other than what is strictly necessary like Gravity Forms, Gravity Perks, etc.), and stripping our theme down to the bare minimum to make the site load without errors.

At this point unless there’s a step missing in the instructions (edit form -> add checkboxes -> advanced -> populate w/ taxonomy), we don’t see what other variables we could eliminate.

I can confirm that the update works for me. Thanks.

@chadmohr Glad to hear it!

@tderkowski Feel free to e-mail me a form export (JSON) to [email protected] and I can take a quick look to see if I can reproduce the issue with the export.
