    Hi Brajesh,

    may I ask if there has been any progress on this. I have been anxious to solve this for quite some time so I can finally go live.

    Many thanks,

    Ada

    Hi Ada,
    when you copied the code from the referenced post, you might have used the following code from step 5.

    
function bcg_custom_forms_args( $args ) {
	
	$args['tax'] = array();
	
	$cusom_fields = isset( $args['custom_fields'] ) ? $args['custom_fields']: array() ;
	
	$group = groups_get_current_group();
	
	if( empty( $group ) || empty( $group->id ) ) {
		return $args;
	}
	
	$cats = bcg_get_categories( $group->id );
	//if there is no category set
	if( empty( $cats ) ) {
		//create if not exists
		$cats = bcg_custom_create_group_category( $group );
	}
	
	if ( empty( $cats ) ) {
		return $args;
	}
	
	$cusom_fields['_bcg_selected_category'] = array(
		'type'		=> 'hidden',
		'default'	=> $cats[0],
		'label'		=> ''	
	);
	
	$args['custom_fields'] = $cusom_fields;
	$args['post_status'] = 'publish';
	
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bcg_form_args', 'bcg_custom_forms_args' );

    Please change that to this

    

function bcg_custom_forms_args( $args ) {

	$tax = $args['tax'];

	unset( $tax['category'] );//we don't need a box for category
	$args['tax'] = $tax;
	$cusom_fields = isset( $args['custom_fields'] ) ? $args['custom_fields']: array() ;

	$group = groups_get_current_group();

	if( empty( $group ) || empty( $group->id ) ) {
		return $args;
	}

	$cats = bcg_get_categories( $group->id );
	//if there is no category set
	if( empty( $cats ) ) {
		//create if not exists
		$cats = bcg_custom_create_group_category( $group );
	}

	if ( empty( $cats ) ) {
		return $args;
	}

	$cusom_fields['_bcg_selected_category'] = array(
		'type'		=> 'hidden',
		'default'	=> $cats[0],
		'label'		=> ''
	);

	$args['custom_fields'] = $cusom_fields;
	$args['post_status'] = 'publish';

	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bcg_form_args', 'bcg_custom_forms_args' );

    We were removing all the taxonomies causing the issue. Updating that section should make it work. Please give it a try. Another small modification may be required if it does not work for you. Please do let me know how it goes with you.

    Much appreciate this Brajesh. I have replaced that section and I still see only the label for the allowed taxonomy (“Level”) and still no terms showing. Perhaps the little tweak you mentioned is still necessary.

    I put here all the code and setting that is in place as reference: http://pastebin.com/Cw2AXNE0

    Many thanks,

    Ada

    Hi Ada,
    Thank you. I have made a few more changes in the above function. This should finally do our job. Please check if it works or not?

    

function bcg_custom_forms_args( $args ) {

	$tax = $args['tax'];

	unset( $tax['category'] );//we don't need a box for category

	foreach( $tax as $taxonomy => $details ) {
		$tax[$taxonomy]['include'] = get_terms( $taxonomy, array('fields' => 'ids', 'get' => 'all') );
	}

	$args['tax'] = $tax;

	$cusom_fields = isset( $args['custom_fields'] ) ? $args['custom_fields']: array() ;

	$group = groups_get_current_group();

	if( empty( $group ) || empty( $group->id ) ) {
		return $args;
	}

	$cats = bcg_get_categories( $group->id );
	//if there is no category set
	if( empty( $cats ) ) {
		//create if not exists
		$cats = bcg_custom_create_group_category( $group );
	}

	if ( empty( $cats ) ) {
		return $args;
	}

	$cusom_fields['_bcg_selected_category'] = array(
		'type'      => 'hidden',
		'default'   => $cats[0],
		'label'     => ''
	);

	$args['custom_fields'] = $cusom_fields;
	$args['post_status'] = 'publish';

	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bcg_form_args', 'bcg_custom_forms_args' );

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    This is amazing – it works as expected! Thank you very much Brajesh for all the effort and expert advice.

    Btw, the notification on the forum seems not to work sometime – I just saw your addition.

    Am up to yet another membership round if my questions become a bit hairy. For now all the best and thank you again.
