When editing a post using the admin interface the wp-admin/post.php script redirects you after saving the post. This is done to avoid resubmitting the post request if you refresh the page after submitting. It also means that you’re not able to output anything during the save_post action. case ‘editpost’: check_admin_referer(‘update-post_’ . $post_id); $post_id = edit_post(); … Read more
As you can see from the hook order, widget_init is a hook that is quite early in the page execution order. So, by the time save_post is fired widget_init has already passed. If you add an action to a hook that has already passed, nothing will happen.
The problem is probably that the $post_id parameter passed to via the save_post_$post_type hook is not the same $post_id as the original post – it’s the $post_id of the temporary post that’s created when you edit a post. To confirm this: add_filter( ‘pre_post_update’, ‘wpse_pre_post_update’, 10, 3 ); add_filter( ‘save_post’, ‘wpse_save_post’, 10, 1 ); function wpse_pre_post_update( … Read more
Rather than hooking into init or wp_load, here is a snippet you can drop into functions.php or on a theme file. I put it behind a $_GET so that you can only hit it once and when you are ready. Something like https://domain.com/page/?update_post_meta // Hide it from the public if(isset($_GET[‘update_post_meta’])){ // Let’s query all of … Read more
First of all you saved the the terms value in a post meta table and not following the wordpress conventional method. To make it connect with default category with that post you need to modify your save_post action. Check the modified code. add_action( ‘save_post’, ‘rudr_save_metaboxdata’, 10, 2 ); function rudr_save_metaboxdata( $post_id, $post ) { if … Read more
Double check if your <div id=’repeater’> is properly inside <form> tag of your page ( I assume you’re in a form since your code does not provide an ajax function) and from what you outpup with var_dump($_POST[‘al_ttl’]) it may be the reason of Undefined index: al_ttl. Also note that you’re overwriting the first initialization of … Read more
The wp_update_post hook will call the same action twice, as the action save_post_{$post->post_type} is called in this function. I would add remove_action( ‘save_post_tribe_events’, ‘set_to_pending’); before wp_update_post( $post ); and add_action( ‘save_post_tribe_events’, ‘set_to_pending’, 10, 3 ); after it works 🙂 function set_to_pending($id, $post, $update){ $the_post = print_r($post, true); $the_post_author = $post->post_author; $the_post_url = get_edit_post_link($id); $the_post_url = … Read more
On the few occasions when I’ve needed to do something similar, I’ve used the callback unattach-update-reattach method, which is also described on this older Q&A, Update post on save and on the developer docs comments. function your_save_post_callback( $post_id, $post, $update ) { // unattach the callback remove_action(‘save_post’, ‘your_save_post_callback’); // update post wp_update_post( $args ); // … Read more
Any function hooked to the save_post hook will run whenever you save a post. That is expected behaviour. You should use the hook save_post_{$post->post_type} to specify to which post type that callback is asociated. That way, it will only be called when saving a post of type {$post->post_type} See the hook documentation
Your conditional is in trouble. get_the_category() returns an object, use foreach to find the specific category. In addition, you assigned a value to the $categories variable, to compare you must use the comparison operators ( Ex: == or === ) I refactored the code and adapted it to your case, I hope it helps. add_action( … Read more
