I am trying to: Regenerate post title on post update

I visited this URL: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/get-custom-taxonomy-in-auto-title/

I expected to see:

Instead, I got:

Hello, In above ticket, I was succesfully helped to auto-generate CPT title based on different custom taxonomy and fields.
It seems however that when I update those taxonomy/fields while editing the post, the title is not updated on saving (updating) the post.
Any hint would be welcome.
Thanks.

Hi Bruno

I set up a quick test site to check this (I can see no reason from the code samples in the linked ticket why it would not work) and found that editing the post using CRED and changing the taxonomy terms the post title was updated accordingly.

This may be a silly question but did you modify your code so that it also runs on the edit CRED form and not just the CRED form to publish new content (i.e. that it checks the $form_data['id'] against the id of both forms)?

Hi Nigel,

Erm, actually far from being silly, your question is right to the point; I just forgot to adapt my function.php file accordingly since I am indeed using two different forms for create and edit.
Still, with the following new code, it still does not work :

//* CRED autotitle
add_action('cred_save_data','func_custom_post_title',10,2);
function func_custom_post_title($post_id,$form_data) {
  if ($form_data['id']==1279) {
    $term_list = wp_get_post_terms($post_id, 'listing-type', array("fields" => "names","orderby"=>"term_id"));    
    $auctiontype = join("-",$term_list);
    $auctiondate = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-auction-ending', true);
    $auctiondate = date('j F Y',$auctiondate);
    $dayofweek = date('l', strtotime($auctiondate));
    $term_list= wp_get_post_terms($post_id, 'car-brand', array("fields" => "names","orderby"=>"term_id"));
    $carbrand = join(" ",$term_list);
  
    $title= $auctiontype. ': ' .$dayofweek. ' ' .$auctiondate. ' - ' .$carbrand;
    $args = array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $title);
    wp_update_post($args);
 if ($form_data['id']==1417) {
    $term_list = wp_get_post_terms($post_id, 'listing-type', array("fields" => "names","orderby"=>"term_id"));    
    $auctiontype = join("-",$term_list);
    $auctiondate = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-auction-ending', true);
    $auctiondate = date('j F Y',$auctiondate);
    $dayofweek = date('l', strtotime($auctiondate));
    $term_list= wp_get_post_terms($post_id, 'car-brand', array("fields" => "names","orderby"=>"term_id"));
    $carbrand = join(" ",$term_list);
  
    $title= $auctiontype. ': ' .$dayofweek. ' ' .$auctiondate. ' - ' .$carbrand;
    $args = array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $title);
    wp_update_post($args);
     }
  }
}

What am i missing?

Hi,
It eventually worked (one closing bracket was misplaced).
Thanks for your time.
