A plugin short code (of Easy digital downloads - front end submissions) displays a form underneath each post. Within the form thus displayed, there are numerous visible fields to be filled by users. There is also a hidden field to update a meta key visible on the back end only, with a place for value - as in image. I want to secretly pass the ID of the post (or title or name or slug etc) under which the form (by shortcode/php embed) is appearing, so I know at least where the form was even filled from. I want a solution code to make this happen - Please consider modulating your solution so it can be understood by a beginner. I've tried a number of ways of using $post variable - assuming its super global, using hooks, but a new session when submitting the form means I couldn't access the post data... either in [login to view URL] file or the plugin PHP files - likewise sending data through PHP POST method seems like over exertion (it also places an extra submit button). I have access to $post in the Loop, on the individual post displayed - but I want any of the post attributes (ID/title/slug etc) to automatically STUFF into that one field when someone hits submit !!!? Note: since $post is inaccessible, none of these work when directly placed in the value field: $post->ID $post->ID post_id $postid $post_id {$postid} {$post_id} the_ID ID get_the_ID(); the_title(); get_queried_object_id() My budget is a flat $10 for this. A bit more if you soften the learning curve! Please make sure that your solution works - I'm nearly done trying everything. Thanks so much for going through.
