post_title in save_post action
Without knowing the surrounding code, it is hard to tell what the problem might be, but you said you checked the $post variable. Maybe the $post variable is not set properly, the save_post action only gives you the post id: function get_post_title($post_id) { $post = get_post($post_id); if (empty($post->post_title)) { // No title set, put in … Read more

Generate slug and meta data if meta field is empty
Ok, after a little playtime, here is the answer: add_action(‘save_post’, ‘ocp_jobs_save_details’); function ocp_jobs_save_details(){ global $post; $genref = sanitize_title( dechex( time() ) ); if ( $post->post_type == ‘job’ ) { if ( $_POST[‘ocp_jobs_ref’] ) { $jobs_args = array( ‘ID’ => $post->ID, ‘post_name’ => strtolower( sanitize_title( $_POST[‘ocp_jobs_ref’] ) ) ); $myref = strtoupper( $_POST[‘ocp_jobs_ref’] ); } else{ … Read more
Connection Reset on post/page save
If you are running mod_security or anything like that would be first thing to check. Security modules are server are known to react badly to WP’s POST requests. That is consistent with circumstances you describe (post saves, Ajax).
WP_Query within save_post doesn’t include the item that triggered the action?

Why WordPress takes time to make request to save post?
Not entirely sure, but looks like WordPress doesn’t have a method to update custom fields in batches, so, 1 query to the DB per field.
Custom metabox does not store data
Are you sure it isn’t saving the values to the DB? Perhaps it’s just not displaying the previously saved values in your form? $values = get_post_custom( $post->ID ); This is what you are using to get your meta – but this returns a multi-dimensional array.

WordPress save_post hook not firing when checking if _GET[‘post’] is set
How is $_GET[‘post’] set ? And why are you checking it? It could be that you’re adding the save_post call too late. Try: function foo() { die(‘Saving post’); } function foo2() { if( isset($_GET[‘post’]) ) foo(); } add_action( ‘save_post’, ‘foo2’ );
Update post_meta post_name with the post ID from wp_insert_post after user register
No need for the two functions/hooks – just use the first, with the addition of: if ( $post_id = wp_insert_post( $user_page ) ) { wp_update_post( array( ‘ID’ => $post_id, ‘post_name’ => $post_id, ) ); }
