First time posting to the Piklist Community, but I am very willing to get involved. I will have other tickets, but I’ll start with this one. Thanks for your work.

I want to save info from the Front End Form (FEF) on the current post. I stumbled on a comment somewhere that said there is no direct functionality because multiple posts can be updated in one FEF submisison, so I am looking for a way to overload that. Currently, my code only creates a new post of the same below post type.

The following topics seemed most relevant:
– https://piklist.com/learn/doc/arent-fields-saving/
– https://piklist.com/support/topic/how-can-i-get-the-id-of-new-post-created-by-front-end-form/

When using ‘ID’ as in

$id = get_the_ID();

// Where to save this form
piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'hidden'
	,'scope' => 'post'
	,'field' => 'post_type'
	,'value' => 'custom_post_type_1'
));

// New post ID
piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'hidden'
	,'scope' => 'post'
	,'field' => 'ID'
	,'value' => ($id ? $id : '')
	,'required' => false,
));

I get a “Class ‘Layers_Widget_Migrator’ not found” conflict with my LayersWP theme. Don’t know what’s going on there yet. I do not get a conflict when the field using

$id = get_the_ID();
// Where to save this form
piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'hidden'
	,'scope' => 'post'
	,'field' => 'post_type'
	,'value' => 'custom_post_type_1'
));

// New post ID
piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'hidden'
	,'scope' => 'post'
	,'field' => 'post_id_backend'
	,'value' => ($id ? $id : '')
	,'required' => false,
));

$id successfully fills. I am using version 0.9.9.9. I tried using code from @mcmaster, but I’m not too sure.

add_action( 'piklist_save_field-post', 'my_grab_new_post_id' );
function my_grab_new_post_id ( $fields ) {
	global $my_new_post_id;
	$my_new_post_id = $fields['post_id_backend']['object_id'];
}

add_filter( 'wp_redirect', 'my_stick_new_post_id_in_redirect', 10, 2 );
function my_stick_new_post_id_in_redirect ( $location, $status ) {
	global $my_new_post_id;
	return( $location."?ID=$my_new_post_id" );	
}
