My front-end forms render, submit and create new CPT’s just like I want them to. However, the newly created CPT does not have a title.
When I try to call the new created CPT from different CPT using the Post Object or Relationship fields, the CPTs are listed but only itemized as “untitled.”
I am using this code in my functions file to create the_title using get_the_author(). On the back-end this successfully displays the CPT title as the post author. But the “the_title” cannot be called from the front-end and shows only as “untitled” in Post Object / Relationship fields.
function agsm_custom_admin_titles( $title, $post_id ) {
global $post;
$output = $title;
if( isset($post->post_type) ):
switch( $post->post_type ) {
case 'student_profile':
$studentid = get_field('student_willamette_u_id', $post_id );
$output = $studentid;
break;
}
switch( $post->post_type ) {
case 'internship':
$internid = get_the_author();
$output = $internid;
break;
}
switch( $post->post_type ) {
case 'evaluation':
$evalid = get_the_author();
$output = $evalid;
break;
}
endif;
return $output;
}
Any ideas out there on what I’m missing here?
When calling acf_form() you can set the “post_title” setting to true. This will add a field for adding the post title https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf_form/
If you want this field to be dynamically generated then you need to add an acf/save_post action that updates the post with your desired title. https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/using-acf_form-add-post-title/
Haven’t tried this solution yet but wanted to let you know I received the info and after a quick look I think this will be the key. It looks right to me. Will give it a try later today to confirm. Thank you for your fast and clear response. Much appreciated.
