Hi there,
I am using the 'type' => 'taxonomy_advanced', custom field with 'field_type' => 'select_advanced' to allow my users to choose tags that are associated with their frontend posts.

When adding the 'add_new' => true parameter to the custom field I am expecting to see the option for users to add their own "Custom Tag" in their frontend posts, but I don't see any option for this when testing?

Am I understanding this feature correctly? What am I missing?

Thanks in Advance 🙂

Hello,

Yes, the option 'add_new' => true supports adding a new term (tag) when editing or creating the post in both frontend/backend. If it doesn't work, do you see any JS error in the browser console tab?

Hi Peter,
thanks for getting back to me. I see no console errors?

I have also just tried creating a very basic 'taxonomy' custom field with no advanced options and including 'add_new' => true I get nothing? No option to add a custom tag? I have also tested with all the different field_type (IE: select, select_advanced, select_tree, checkbox_list etc etc...) and the result is the same?

Can you verify that this feature is working as expected at your end? Using MB V5.9.4 and AIO V1.24.2.

If yes can you show me a demo/screenshot of what I should be seeing?

Q) Can I also assume that tags can be added in both the wp-admin by an 'Administrator' and in a Frontend form by a 'User' with 'add_new' => true?

Thanks 🙂

Hello,

The Add New feature looks like this https://drive.google.com/file/d/1svrSS_VPHdVFibVIa4w1ESfuc77krgnB/view?usp=sharing

I understand your issue. When you click on Add New, it opens the editing page as in the admin area to create a new term. And only Administrator or Editor users can create a new term.

I will inform the development team to consider supporting this feature for other users.

Hi Peter,
yup that was it! Subscribers cannot "add new" tags. Be great if this was a feature available to this role in MB Frontend submissions in the future. Thanks for clarifying 🙂
