Update Custom Taxonomy Term from front end form WordPress

Bob comments:

you should also check if that it is getting proper value using jquery and sending it.
do write alert() code and check it also.
I think below code should also work

var res_status = $(this).find('.res_status').val();


I think wp_set_post_terms is used for native post type only. so you have to use only wp_set_object_terms.

Alvaro Rosado comments:

I did put it like this:

var res_status = $(this).find('.res_status').val();

and alert('res_status');

returns me the ID value of the term, the problem persist in the update function :(

Bob comments:

Can you provide taxonomy and form code so that I can create environment in my localhost and send you fixed/modified code?

you can email me at [email protected]

Bob comments:

For non-hierarchical terms(tag like term) you must use array with id.

example

$tag = array( 5 );
wp_set_post_terms( $post_id, $tag, $taxonomy );

Hi bro, It's hierarchical (like Category).

This is my taxonomy code:

// Register Custom Taxonomy
function booking_taxonomy() {

$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Estatus', 'Taxonomy General Name', 'text_domain' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Estatus', 'Taxonomy Singular Name', 'text_domain' ),
'menu_name' => __( 'Estatus', 'text_domain' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All Items', 'text_domain' ),
'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Item', 'text_domain' ),
'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Item:', 'text_domain' ),
'new_item_name' => __( 'New Item Name', 'text_domain' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Item', 'text_domain' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Item', 'text_domain' ),
'update_item' => __( 'Update Item', 'text_domain' ),
'view_item' => __( 'View Item', 'text_domain' ),
'separate_items_with_commas' => __( 'Separate items with commas', 'text_domain' ),
'add_or_remove_items' => __( 'Add or remove items', 'text_domain' ),
'choose_from_most_used' => __( 'Choose from the most used', 'text_domain' ),
'popular_items' => __( 'Popular Items', 'text_domain' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Items', 'text_domain' ),
'not_found' => __( 'Not Found', 'text_domain' ),
'no_terms' => __( 'No items', 'text_domain' ),
'items_list' => __( 'Items list', 'text_domain' ),
'items_list_navigation' => __( 'Items list navigation', 'text_domain' ),
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'hierarchical' => true,
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_admin_column' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'show_tagcloud' => true,
);
register_taxonomy( 'booking_status', array( 'booking' ), $args );

}
add_action( 'init', 'booking_taxonomy', 0 );


This is the form code with some changes you have suggested:

Bob comments:

You are using $postid to update post like
update_post_meta($postid, '_sendersName', $first_name);
but using $post_id for setting taxonomy.

wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $res_status, 'booking_status', false);


Bob comments:

here you are using booking_ajax_submit but your function name is post_ajax_submit.

add_action('wp_ajax_SubmitReservation', 'booking_ajax_submit');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_SubmitReservation', 'booking_ajax_submit');


Bob comments:


function booking_ajax_submit() {

// get values

$first_name = trim($_POST['first_name']);
$last_name = trim($_POST['last_name']);
$mobile = trim($_POST['mobile']);
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
$postid = trim($_POST['post_id']);
$res_date = trim($_POST['res_date']);
$res_date_time = trim($_POST['res_date_time']);
$res_status = trim($_POST['res_status']);
$postid = (int) $postid;
$res_status1 = array();
$res_status1[] = (int)$res_status;
update_post_meta($postid, '_sendersName', $first_name);
update_post_meta($postid, '_sendersLastName', $last_name);
update_post_meta($postid, '_sendersPhone', $mobile);
update_post_meta($postid, '_sendersEmail', $email);
update_post_meta($postid, '_resDate', $res_date);
update_post_meta($postid, '_resDateTime', $res_date_time);

wp_set_object_terms($postid, $res_status1, 'booking_status', false);

// also using this one

//wp_set_post_terms($post_id, $res_status, 'booking_status', false);

}

add_action('wp_ajax_SubmitReservation', 'booking_ajax_submit');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_SubmitReservation', 'booking_ajax_submit');


if ajaxurl is not defined and has error about it

add_action('wp_head', 'myplugin_ajaxurl');

function myplugin_ajaxurl() {

echo '<script type="text/javascript">
var ajaxurl = "' . admin_url('admin-ajax.php') . '";
</script>';
}

jQuery('document').ready(function($) {
