   I have been through this forum and the TDO forum and the code examples are not working for me. I can make a title using one custom field with this code:
   

   <?php
   /* assuming you have called the custom field key "State"... */
   $post_title = get_post_meta($post_id, 'State', true);
   $postdata = array( "ID" => $post_id, "post_title" => $post_title);
   sanitize_post($postdata,"db");
   wp_update_post($postdata);
   ?>

   When I follow the coding examples in the forums and create this code
   all I get is the date and time stamp:

   <?php
   $description = get_post_meta($post_id, ‘Description’, true);
   $city = get_post_meta($post_id, 'City', true);
   $state = get_post_meta($post_id, 'State', true);
   $post_content = $description . $city. $state;
   $postdata = array(
   “ID” => $post_id,“post_title” => $post_content);
   sanitize_post($postdata,”db”);
   wp_update_post($postdata);
   ?>

   I have also tried replacing post_content with post_title.

   Any ideas?

   Well, I found out my mistake - curly quotes and changing the = to . equal

   Here is the correct code in case anyone would like to use it:

   <?php
   $description = get_post_meta($post_id, 'Description', true);
   $city = get_post_meta($post_id, 'City', true);
   $state = get_post_meta($post_id, 'State', true);
   $post_title .= $description . $city . $state;
   
   $postdata = array("ID"=> $post_id, "post_title" => $post_title);
   sanitize_post($postdata,"db");
   wp_update_post($postdata);
   ?>

   Hi

   I am wanting to do the same, and have copied your code as follows, with my 3 field name changes:
   

   <?php
   $name = get_post_meta($post_id, 'Name', true);
   $suburb = get_post_meta($post_id, 'Suburb', true);
   $phone = get_post_meta($post_id, 'Phone', true);
   $post_title .= $name . $suburb . $phone;
   
   $postdata = array("ID"=> $post_id, "post_title" => $post_title);
   sanitize_post($postdata,"db");
   wp_update_post($postdata);
   ?>

   My three custom fields are called:
   

   TDOMF Form #1 Custom Field #Name
   TDOMF Form #1 Custom Field #Suburb
   TDOMF Form #1 Custom Field #Phone

   Each attempt I make, after finding a few errors each time, have resulted in the "No Post Title" error.

   Can anyone please see what I am doing wrong ?

   I fathomed it out, I got the field names wrong.

   Where my actual field name was "TDOMF Form #1 Custom Field #Name"
   I just used the "#name" part.
