Can you change line 5 to this:</p> <pre><code>[php] $the_title_attribute = get_the_title($post-&gt;ID);</code></pre> <p>If that does not work, please echo $the_title_attribute to see what it contains, before you try to return it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/populate-a-field-with-a-custom-post-type-title#post-78668 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 10:14:31 +0000 Exclusif 78668@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey,</p> <p>I'm trying to populate a form field with the title of the post to which the form is attached. The post is a custom post type (using sugar events). I can't seem to get it to work.<br /> This is the code i'm using in functions.php:</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&#39;gform_field_value_event_name&#39;, &#39;populate_post_the_title_attribute&#39;); function populate_post_the_title_attribute($value){ global $post; $the_title_attribute = get_the_title(&#39;title&#39;, $post-&gt;the_title_attribute); return $the_title_attribute; }</code></pre> <p>I also tried using just "the_title" instead of "the_title_attribute", but no luck.</p> <p>Would really appreciate some help. Thanks for a great plugin! </p>
