Hi Leo,

It is difficult to navigate the user to the page from where the post was published as it is a custom form and can be called on any places. But we can edit it from BuddyBlog edit form. Please modify the code for registering custom form

function buudydev_post_form() {

    $settings = array(

        'post_type' => 'post',
        'post_author' =>  bp_loggedin_user_id(),
        'post_status' => 'publish',
        'tax' => array(
            'category' => array(
                'include' => array( 61 ), //category ids
                'view_type' => 'checkbox',
            )
        ),

        'current_user_can_post' => is_user_logged_in(),
        'show_categories' => true,
        'allow_upload' => true
    );

    bp_new_simple_blog_post_form( 'my_custom_form', $settings );

}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'buudydev_post_form', 4 );

with this code

 function buudydev_post_form() {

    $settings = array(

        'post_type' => 'post',
        'post_author' =>  bp_loggedin_user_id(),
        'post_status' => 'publish',
        'tax' => array(
            'category' => array(
                'include' => array( 65 ), //category ids
                'view_type' => 'checkbox',
            )
        ),
        'custom_fields'				=> array(
             '_my_custom_form' => array( 'type' => 'hidden', 'id' => 'my_custom_form', 'name' => 'my_custom_form', 'default' => 'my_custom_form' )
        ),
        'current_user_can_post' => is_user_logged_in(),
        'show_categories' => true,
        'allow_upload' => 1
    );

    bp_new_simple_blog_post_form( 'my_custom_form', $settings );

}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'buudydev_post_form', 4 );

Also we need to override the buddyblog form template by copy “buddyblog/template/buddyblog/edit.php” file to your theme folder “buddyblog/edit.php” after copying, modify the following section

   $form = bp_get_simple_blog_post_form( 'buddyblog-user-posts' );
                            
    $form->show();

with

  $form_id ='buddyblog-user-posts';

    $post_id = bp_action_variable( 0 );
    
    if( ! empty( $post_id ) && ! empty( get_post_meta( $post_id, '_my_custom_form', true ) ) ) {
        $form_id ='my_custom_form';
    }

    $form = bp_get_simple_blog_post_form( $form_id );

it will load over custom form instead of BuddyBlog Form.

Hi Leo,
I am sorry. Ravi will be back tomorrow.
I had a look at the above code and I see that Ravi missed to post the last line.

Please add this line

$form->show();

after this

$form = bp_get_simple_blog_post_form( $form_id );

That should work.

Brajesh

Hi Leo,
Is it happening for new posts or the old posts? This solution should only work with new posts using the custom form.

Please let me know and I will check the code.

Thank you
Brajesh

Hi Leo,
Thank you. I will look into it and will get back to you in next couple of hours.

Thank you
Brajesh

Hi Leo,
Thank you for the details.

1. Are you using any custom code to assign categories or terms? Please post me the custom codes you are using.
2. The two forms are different and even if they are being edited from same place, should have different setup unless some custom code is being used to assign/manipulate categories.

There is no problem in using categories.

I will be contacting the wpml.org about the plan. Hoping that it will help us in providing compatible plugins in future.

Thank you
Brajesh
