Function does not update value

[PHILLIPA]

I wish to update a tribe events custom field called PlacesLeft using the code below. The function does not appear to work and the record is not updated?

// Update event ID 98
$my_post = array(

‘PlacesLeft’ => 46,
);

tribe_update_event (98, $args);

In the database PlacesLeft is stored as a varchar

Hello Phillipa!

Thanks for reaching out to us! 🙂 Let me try to help you with that.

The arguments to be passed into $args can only be the ones stated here as a reference > https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_insert_post/#parameters

I can see in your code that you might have mismatched the $args variable. Will something like this work for you?

$args = array(
    'meta_input' => array(
    'PlacesLeft' => '46',
  ),
);

tribe_update_event (98, $args);

I’m not sure where exactly you are using that code snippet but I suggest you test that out in a test/dev site before doing it so in a live site, because it may have unintended effects.

We also encourage you make a full backup of your site just in case something goes wrong, and you can always revert changes back.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Best,
Victor
