Hi!
I’ve been at this for a couple of hours. I found the code I needed to change empty title fields with Custom Post Types.
I can’t get the code to work.add_filter('piklist_empty_post_title', 'cazooz_new_title', 10, 2); function cazooz_new_title($data, $post_array) { // Grab the new title from the custom field. Replace my_custom_field with your own $new_title = $post_array['_post_meta']['child_first_name']; print_r($post_array); // output die(); // Only filter on your custom post type. Replace my_custom_cpt with your own. return $post_array['post_type'] == 'child' ? $new_title : $post_array['post_title']; }Registered CPT:
$args = array( 'description' => 'Child Post Type', 'show_ui' => true, 'query_var' => true, 'menu_position' => 4, 'exclude_from_search' => false, 'labels' => array( 'name'=> 'Children', 'singular_name' => 'Child', 'add_new' => 'Add New Child', 'add_new_item' => 'Add New Child', 'edit' => 'Edit Children', 'edit_item' => 'Edit Child', 'new-item' => 'New Child', 'view' => 'View Child', 'view_item' => 'View Child', 'search_items' => 'Search Children', 'not_found' => 'No Children Found', 'not_found_in_trash' => 'No Children Found in Trash', 'parent' => 'Parent Child' ), 'public' => true, 'publicly_queryable' => true, 'capability_type' => 'post', 'hierarchical' => false, 'rewrite' => true, 'has_archive' => true, 'taxonomies' => array('interest_tag', 'activity_type' ), 'supports' => array('custom-fields') ); register_post_type( 'child' , $args );Am I doing something wrong here?
Once I eventually get it to work, I’d like to fill the title from two fields: child_first_name and child_last_name. Is that possible?Thanks

I just tested it and it works for me. You should be able to drop it into your functions.php you’re good to go as long as child_first_name’s value is a string.
And for getting both first and last name, you’ll want to do something like this:
$new_title = $post_array['_post_meta']['child_first_name'] . " " . $post_array['_post_meta']['child_last_name']; -
@intrepidrealist– Did this work for you?

I have the code in my Functions Plugin. When I add a new child I get this in the browser window:

I’m adding from the admin. It’s a local install, using DesktopServer.

@intrepidrealist this code in your functions.php should do the trick then.
add_filter('piklist_empty_post_title', 'cazooz_new_title', 10, 2); function cazooz_new_title($data, $post_array) { $new_title = $post_array['_post_meta']['child_first_name'] . " " . $post_array['_post_meta']['child_last_name']; return $post_array['post_type'] == 'child' ? $new_title : $post_array['post_title']; } -

Actually, it was the
die()statement that stopped the function from finishing. If you left theprint_rand removed thedie();it would have completed, but in a hook, it’s the only way to actually see the output, otherwise it wouldprint_rbehind the scenes and move on. You’d never see the result.Gotta love those learning moments!
