Usually there is no way to check if the meta data is updated or not, but you can use updated_postmeta
and added_post_meta
to get kinda similar functionality. Please have a look at the below code-
add_action( 'updated_postmeta', 'the_dramatist_updated_postmeta', 10, 4 );
add_action( 'added_post_meta', 'the_dramatist_updated_postmeta', 10, 4 );
function the_dramatist_updated_postmeta(
$meta_id,
$object_id,
$meta_key,
$meta_value
) {
// check meta key with $meta_key parameter
if ( 'your_meta_key' !== $meta_key ) {
return;
}
// better check with the exiting data with the $meta_value to check if the data is updated or not.
// then do what you want to do with the data
}
Hope this above helps.
