I’m not sure if this is THE solution. I’d absolutely love to NOT have to manually update the Taxonomy, but have ACF handle it – like it seems it should do? Totally may be user error for why it’s not.
I’m manually saving the taxonomy using wp_set_object_terms(). In this case the user is restricted to selecting a single term. The solution would look a bit different if multiple terms were allowed.
function acf_post_save_tribute( $post_id ) {
// bail early if not a tribute
if( get_post_type($post_id) !== 'tribute' ) {
return;
}
// bail early if wordpress admin
if( is_admin() ) {
return;
}
// get step
$trib_step = get_field('trib_step', $post_id);
// create/update the post title if this is a new post or if the user has edited step 1
if ( $trib_step <= 1 ) {
$args = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_title' => $_POST['acf']['field_558884854c6ce'] . ' ' . $_POST['acf']['field_558884974c6cf'],
);
wp_update_post($args);
// manually update the state taxonomy field
$the_term_obj = get_term($_POST['acf']['field_5591b6e43e1b7'], 'trib_state');
$the_term_slug = $the_term_obj->slug;
wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $the_term_slug, 'trib_state');
}
// redirect new tributes to step 2 and pass along the proper ID
if ($trib_step < 1) {
$redirect = get_tribute_editor_url(2,$post_id);
wp_redirect($redirect);
exit;
}
}
