Custom Taxonomy Disappearing in Form Edit

Is the form is very long? It might exceed the limitation of the database table field, but other than that, it shouldn’t happen.

You can provide your site url, user login and password. Mark your reply as Private reply to keep it safe.

Can you check the password again? It’s not working for me.

Hi. You mention the user may have “exceeded the limitation of the database table field,”.
What is this limitation?

Whenever I upload a localhost version of my database to a live server my forms reset and show no fields. This only seems to happen if I have used the HTML element in the form. Forms that don’t include this HTML element seem to load up as expected.

Please help.

Thanks

Hello Dave,

Sorry for replying late. Seems like it’s conflict between the plugin and the taxonomy, not a hard way though.

The tabs you see in form editor, has the CSS class group and it show/hides based on the class name. Since your taxonomy has the same name group and it’s adding a CSS class in that element and the tab functions is hiding every element that has the group CSS class. Will it be a trouble to change the custom taxonomy name to lesson_group may be? That should solve the problem.

Hi. I have the same problem – with the Fields disappearing. I have confirmed that they are not being hidden though – they are actually removed. I don’t have any conflicting CPT or Taxonomy names.
This happened when I moved a database from the local version to a live server. All of my fields were deleted.

Do you know how to solve this problem?

Solved my issue – for some reason having active Custom Taxonomies breaks the database when moving the database from a localhost server to a live server, or vice-versa.

By deactivating my Custom Taxonomies ( // commented out the code in my functions.php file) and then exporting and importing the database I was able to transport the database and it worked correctly.

I haven’t fully tested whether then re-enabling my Taxonomies after importing the database works – but it seems that it will.

Hope this helps someone out there…it was a nightmare for me to figure this out.

Hi Tareq. I tried changing all the ‘group’ references to ‘lesson_group’ in both the functions.php and the template; post-pagenavigatorv2.php

I didn’t change the Group icon of course…that is not relevant.

It didn’t work. I’m missing something…..where should I change it? in Functions.php? but where?

Thanks for your help..plug in is awesome. It did everything I wanted it to do. Just need to fix this part so I can build and style the forms better.

Thanks,
Dave

What I see is you have the taxonomy name group. Changing the label only wouldn’t work.

I don’t know who added the taxonomy, your theme or any plugin? If your theme, need to modify your theme. Find something like this: register_taxonomy( 'writer', 'book', $args );, here writer is your taxonomy name. Just change that bit.

Hope that helps.

Changing the taxonomy worked. I had to change some other code in my template, that used that taxonomy too….but it worked. Thanks for your help.
