Hello,

After creating a term i want to create a post. And i try to link the relation-field in Term with this new Post.

My Code:

function my_create($term_id, $tt_id, $taxonomy) {
  // gets term_data for Post
  $term = get_term($term_id, 'interpret');
  // Create the Post and Save ID to $post_id
  $post = array(
      'post_title' => $term->name,
      'post_content' => $term->slug,
  );
  $post_id = wp_insert_post($post);
  // if Post was created
  if ($post_id) {
    // get Post by ID
    $link_to = get_post($post_id);
    // Post->ID
    $link = $link_to->ID;
    update_field('field_558e8544d5660', $link, $term_id);
  }
}

add_action(‘create_interpret’, ‘my_create’, 10, 3);

The Post is right, the term also, but the Relation-Filed in the term is empty.

In table “wp_options” are two new lines:
9614 _interpret_49_link_to_album_post_type field_558e8544d5660
9613 interpret_49_link_to_album_post_type // empty

In table “wp_postmeta” are thre new lines
863 208 _edit_lock 1435413264:1
862 49 _link_to_album_post_type field_558e8544d5660
861 49 link_to_album_post_type 208 // The ID of the new POST

The Custom-Field is only for this custom taxonomy, not for the normal posts.

Can anyone show me the error in the code?

Greetings
Kati

You are setting a custom field on a term. For this you need to include the taxonomy as part of the $post_id. I have altered the update_field() call of your code

function my_create($term_id, $tt_id, $taxonomy) {
  // gets term_data for Post
  $term = get_term($term_id, 'interpret');
  // Create the Post and Save ID to $post_id
  $post = array(
      'post_title' => $term->name,
      'post_content' => $term->slug,
  );
  $post_id = wp_insert_post($post);
  // if Post was created
  if ($post_id) {
    // get Post by ID
    $link_to = get_post($post_id);
    // Post->ID
    $link = $link_to->ID;
    update_field('field_558e8544d5660', $link, 'interpret_'.$term_id);
  }
}
