I set up 4 custom meta fields on a custom taxonomy, and for some reason the field values for my 2 text fields only update the first time they are added to the database. Either from including them in the "add" form or if I create a taxonomy without them and then include them in the "edit" form for the first time. But as soon as I try to change the values, the database does not get updated. What am I doing wrong?
Here is my code:
// Add the fields to the "groups" taxonomy, using our callback function
add_action( 'groups_add_form_fields', 'groups_taxonomy_custom_fields', 10, 2 ); // "Add new" form
add_action( 'groups_edit_form_fields', 'groups_taxonomy_custom_fields', 10, 2 ); // "Edit" form
function groups_taxonomy_custom_fields($term) {
// Get the page
global $pagenow;
// Set empty vars
$organization = '';
$email_domain = '';
$facilitators = array();
$access_ids = array();
// If we are on the "add new" page
if ($pagenow == 'edit-tags.php') {
// Table setup
$cont1 = '<div class="form-field">';
$cont2 = '';
$cont3 = '</div>';
// If we are on the "edit" term page
} elseif ($pagenow == 'term.php') {
// Check for existing taxonomy meta for the term you're editing
$term_id = isset($term->term_id) ? $term->term_id : null;
$organization = get_term_meta( $term_id, 'organization', true );
$email_domain = get_term_meta( $term_id, 'email_domain', true );
if (get_term_meta( $term_id, 'facilitators', true )) {
$facilitators = get_term_meta( $term_id, 'facilitators', true );
}
if (get_term_meta( $term_id, 'access_ids', true )) {
$access_ids = get_term_meta( $term_id, 'access_ids', true );
}
// Table setup
$cont1 = '<tr class="form-field">
<th scope="row" valign="top">';
$cont2 = '</th>
<td>';
$cont3 = '</td>
</tr>';
// Else nothing
} else {
$cont1 = '';
$cont2 = '';
$cont3 = '';
}
// Let's get all the webinar codes
$codes = get_terms( array(
'taxonomy' => eri_access_id_taxonomy(),
'hide_empty' => false,
'order' => 'DESC',
) );
// Now get all the Facilitators
$users = get_users( array(
'role__in' => array( 'facilitator' ),
'orderby' => 'display_name',
'order' => 'ASC'
) );

Interestingly enough my checkbox fields are updating fine every single time, so something is going on with the text fields.
