Front-end form submission not creating post #5417

Open jaycollier opened 4 years ago

jaycollier commented 4 years ago

Hi!

We have a front-end Pods form that has been correctly creating draft “job” posts (created by Pods) for several months: https://www.mltn.org/jobs/submit-form/

This is the form shortcode:

[pods name="job" form="1" fields="post_title,job_org_name,job_post_date,job_expires_date,job_submittor_name,job_submittor_email,job_submittor_phone,job_apply_link,job_apply_email,job_description"]

Starting this week, after submitting an entry, the response is the correct ?success=1 suffix and “Form submitted successfully”. However, no “job” post is created for that Pod.

Since we weren’t sure exactly what may have caused this change, we created an exact staging copy, changed the theme to Twenty Nineteen, deactivated all plugins except Pods 2.7.14, and optimized the database … and the same thing happens; no “job” post is created.

Pods Version

2.7.14

I am going to try Gravity Forms and the Pods add-on while I keep an eye on this bug.

jaycollier commented 4 years ago

Update for anyone who runs into a similar issue: We decided to use Formidable Forms, which natively supports custom post type creation, custom fields, and notifications. (Gravity Forms required an add-on.) Works great with Pods.

jimtrue commented 4 years ago

@jaycollier The Pods Gravity Forms Add-on does more than what the Formidable support can do (specifically supporting populating relationship fields and providing front-end editing). It's not a comparison.

jaycollier commented 4 years ago

Thank you. That is good to know! We're just using Formidable until the bug is fixed, then we'll move back.

I just tried to reproduce this and was unable to.
