Cannot map to more than one custom taxonomy; admin interface very buggy
-
The admin screen for mapping is super buggy. I have an existing custom post type (registered manually) using ACF custom fields. When I’m adding custom fields to the map, sometimes some of the selections get reset to blank (after saving draft), or are mixed up and the wrong form fields are mapped to the meta fields, or some are completely gone. If I leave that screen and come back by clicking the link on the Contact Forms summary page, sometimes they are fixed, sometimes I have to select the meta fields and form fields again. Eventually after re-saving as draft multiple times it seems to “stick”.
Then for the custom taxonomies: I have two, one “Professions” and another “Countries”. I was able to add and map each one to corresponding form fields, but as soon as I finish that selection process, there’s a message appearing briefly below the Save buttons saying “Something is wrong, try reloading the page” then right away the page reloads by itself and the second taxonomy map is then completely messed up, in one of several ways: just not there, or there but the name is missing (only the edit link is there), or only the form field is there, or there’s a duplicate of the first taxonomy map (but with a singular version of the name). When the edit link is still there for the taxonomy, and I click it, it sometimes shows the correct taxonomy info, sometimes no info or the wrong info. If I delete that map (using the red minus sign in the circle) and try to add it again from scratch, the same thing happens. If I save the whole map, then return to view it, the second taxonomy mapping is missing the form field selection (just shows “Select a form field to map”), and the name of the taxonomy is missing, only the Edit link is there.
I tested a form submission and everything worked except the second taxonomy.
I’ve gone through the entire process twice, same result.
I made sure my custom taxonomy labels are one word, no spaces.
The “Professions” taxonomy has the terms in the database, and the CF7 form has the matching checkbox options. For the “Countries”, same thing, except the CF7 field is a select box.
Very frustrating!
