Try changing your content and saving again. This will trigger the action. save_post is only called if the content has changed. To come in before this is checked, you can use the pre_post_update hook. add_action( ‘pre_post_update’, ‘saving_metabox’ ); function saving_metabox( $post_id ) { die(‘test’); }
Well, first use the hook properly. The post ID will be passed in. You don’t need $post->ID. Second, use the correct hook. If you want to run save_post only for your booking type, use save_post_booking But otherwise, the code works. I just ran a quick test. function booking_status_is_updated($post_id){ if(get_post_meta($post_id,’booking_status’,true)==’denied’){ delete_post_meta($post_id,’booking_slot’); } } add_action(‘save_post_booking’,’booking_status_is_updated’);
The code indeed only looks at the TinyMCE editor or the title and content field if the editor is hidden: window.onbeforeunload = function(){ var mce = typeof(tinyMCE) != ‘undefined’ ? tinyMCE.activeEditor : false, title, content; if ( mce && !mce.isHidden() ) { if ( mce.isDirty() ) return autosaveL10n.saveAlert; } else { title = $(‘#post #title’).val(), … Read more
You’re on the right track. When you do something like this in a form.. <input name=”tax_input[formats][]” /> You create levels in the $_POST array. So you’d get the formats array like this… <?php $formats = $_POST[‘tax_input’][‘formats’]; Full example… <?php add_action(‘save_post’, ‘wpse74017_save’); function wpse74017_save($post_id) { // check nonces and capabilities here. // use a ternary statement … Read more
There are hooks specifically for this, actually. The codex has a pretty good overview. Essentially every time WordPress saves a post (which it does through wp_insert_post) or alters the status of the post, it calls wp_transition_post_status which looks like this: <?php // in wp-includes/post.php function wp_transition_post_status($new_status, $old_status, $post) { do_action(‘transition_post_status’, $new_status, $old_status, $post); do_action(“{$old_status}_to_{$new_status}”, $post); … Read more
In your save code, the value of $field[‘id’] is event_timeframe, which does not exist in $_POST, so your options will never save. You need to dig down into your options array to get to timestart and timeend: // loop through fields and save the data foreach ( $event_infobox_fields as $field ) { foreach ( $field[‘options’] … Read more
You’re right to use ‘save_post’ action hook. Try this: <?php add_action(‘save_post’, ‘some_function’); function some_function($post_id) { if(get_post_type($post_id) != “VA_LISTING_PTYPE”) return; $meta_value = get_post_meta( $post_id, ‘featured-cat’, true ); if($meta_value != 1) return; update_post_meta($post_id, ‘website’, ”); update_post_meta($post_id, ‘twitter’, ”); update_post_meta($post_id, ‘facebook’, ”); } if you’re on WordPress 3.7 or higher, you can use it this way: add_action(‘save_post_VA_LISTING_PTYPE’, ‘some_function’); … Read more
Correct processing of `$_POST`, following WordPress Coding Standards
The use of header() function produce output in the middle of the request and crash it. To modify uploaded image you should use wp_handle_upload filter instead of save_post action. Also, ideally, you should use WP_Image_Editor class, which will use the best image manipulation library available in the server (GD, Imagemagick) and triggers several filters and … Read more
A little late, but I just had this issue where adding a taxonomy term was working, but adding post meta wasn’t. The solution was to set a higher priority. The default priority is 10, so try for instance priority of 100: add_action( ‘save_post_dealer’, ‘save_dealer_long_lat’, 100, 1);
