Editing Previous posts from Free version

Q. I get the message: “I don’t know how to edit this post, I don’t have the form ID”

Ans: When you create a post with the new version of WP User Frontend, a form ID is being attached to that post. It’s needed because you might have 10 forms and it doesn’t know which form should be used to edit that post.

For this problem with older posts, one thing you need to do. If you go the those posts edit screen in backend, you’ll see a meta box “WPUF Form”, select the form that should be used to edit the form.

May be should’ve read the FAQ?

making face palm as I read the first thing in the FAQ.

thanks!

while this did solve the issue.. is there a way to set the form to a bulk of posts?

I have hundreds of posts to do.

Although there isn’t any bulk feature, but getting all posts and run them in a loop and update them should be ok. This code will help

[php]
$form_id = 32; // your form ID
$all_posts = get_posts( array(‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘numberposts’ => -1) );

if ( $all_posts ) {
foreach ($all_posts as $item) {
update_post_meta( $item->ID, ‘_wpuf_form_id’, $form_id );
}
}
[/php]

You need to run this code somehow and give the right form ID to that variable in line 1. It’ll update all the posts from `post` post type.

Thanks Tareq,

you’ve been very helpful!
