Hi Andrew,
Now, I can see the problem.

Field 1140 is not part of your registration forms, so BuddyPress is not saving it even if we put it in the post fields. Earlier, I assumed that you had hidden this field using css and that’s why i suggested the above suggestion.

For you, a better option will be using the following code

function buddydev_update_related_field( $user_id ) {
	
	
	//get the field value
	
	$field_data = xprofile_get_field_data(960, $user_id );
	
	if ( ! empty( $field_data ) ) {
		
		xprofile_set_field_data( 1140, $user_id, $field_data );
	}
	
}
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'buddydev_update_related_field' );

On activation, we fetch and update the field. Please test it and let me know if it works or not?

Thank you

Hi Phil,
Please use the following code to assign a default category.

//set default categorywhen post is being saved
function bcg_set_default_category_to_post( $post_id ) {
	
	$post = get_post( $post_id );
	
	if ( ! $post ) {
		return ;
	}
	
	$terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post_id, 'category' );
	
	if ( empty( $terms ) || ( count( $terms ) == 1 && $terms[0]->term_id == 1 ) ) {
		
		$term_id = 32;//please change it with the default term you want to assign
		
		wp_set_object_terms( $post->ID, $term_id, 'category' );
		
	}
	
}

add_action( 'bsfep_post_saved', 'bcg_set_default_category_to_post' );

Please make sure to change $term_id to your choice of default term id.

Hope that helps

Hi Phil,
Ravi will be away for the weekend. I will post the code tonight.
It is a quick fix and not any paid service.

Thank you
