I have read a few different messages on the forum on how to make this work, but I'm not having any luck. I'm using version 10.4

What I want to do is to be able to submit a form to a post's custom field. I have turned on the WP Comment feature and added the form to the post loop. If I understand right I have to insert 'placeholder into the core form admin section? (is it 'placeholder' with quotes or without?)

Where I think I'm getting confused is in the my-functions.php settings. What all do I need to uncomment?

This is one change in the my-functions.php that I have made:

if ( $setting == "adminTO" ){

        if ( $oldvalue=='placeholder' )
            $email = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'email', true);
            return $email;

}

I have also disabled AJAX for this form…thought it might be a problem.

Thanks,

Admin

If this form is still just a form (and not used to accept WP post comments, do not enable the WP comment feature.

placeholder without the quotes.

have you uncommented the my-functions.php routine including your code properly? this is the most common error.

here is a more complete example, with a fallback solution:

if ( strpos($oldvalue,'placeholder')!==false ){

    $email='';

    If ( $Ajaxpid<>'' )
    $email = get_post_meta($Ajaxpid, 'email', true);
    else if ( get_the_ID()<>'' )
        $email = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'email', true);

if ( $email=='' )
$email = 'fallback@email.com';

return $email;
}

Thank You for the information.

I just found out that probably the main reason was that I was testing it locally and something wasn't working correctly. Because after I tried it on a site that was already "live" it worked fine.
