Have you already tried it like that? Or should an array of just one string work just as well?</p> <p>Other troubleshooting ideas I had:<br /> If you dump the $data object, what does it look like?</p> <p>What does wp_set_post_terms return (can you check the value?)</p> <p>Is the taxonomy hierarchical? (I'm guessing it's not, but I think hierarchical ones need to be passed in by ID not $string to eliminate ambiguity.) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-gform_post_submission-and-usermeta#post-34296 Fri, 02 Sep 2011 19:23:34 +0000 billerickson 34296@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I must be using this hook incorrectly, but I can't figure out how to fix it. I have two forms: one for registered users (id=1) and one for non-registered users (id=3). </p> <p>For form #3, I'm using the Gravity Forms + Custom Post Type plugin to add a dropdown field connected to a taxonomy called Gender. This way the non-registered user can select their gender and it is associated with the post.</p> <p>Registered users already have gender attached to usermeta (added during signup). When a registered user fills out form #1 I want it to use their usermeta to set the gender taxonomy.</p> <pre><code>add_action(&#39;gform_post_submission_1&#39;, &#39;be_add_gender&#39;, 10, 2); function be_add_gender($entry, $form){ $data = wp_get_current_user(); $gender = ( &#39;male&#39; == $data-&gt;gender ) ? &#39;male&#39; : &#39;female&#39;; wp_set_post_terms( $entry[&#39;post_id&#39;], array( $gender ), &#39;gender&#39; ); }</code></pre> <p>Even if my usermeta isn't set, $gender defaults to female and it should be placing the post in the 'female' term of the 'gender' taxonomy. When a post is published, no taxonomy terms are selected. </p>
