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).
The trick is to call the hook “wp_insert_post“. But the post-type is not what you expect – post, page oder custom post type. It’s “revision”. Now you can fire a WP_Query right after the post is saved in the database.
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.
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. Therefore when accessing your beef_meta_box_price value, you need to use … Read more
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’ );
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’ => $post_id, ) ); }
Metabox is not saving
I was able to solve my problem by calling set_post_format in my save_post callback and making sure to check if its set and not equal to the “no change” option. Not sure if this is the best way to go, but it works. require( plugin_admin_dir . ‘plugin-sync.php’ ); add_action( ‘save_post’, ‘savethepost’, 2000); function savethepost($post_id) { … Read more
Refer to Creating a new PostBox in WordPress. As long as you name the fields the same in render as you do in save then you’re good. RENDER echo ‘<input type=”text” id=”boxpost_meta_field” name=”boxpost_meta_field”‘; SAVE $mydata = sanitize_text_field( $_POST[‘boxpost_meta_field’] ); // Update the meta field. update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘_boxpost_meta_field_value_key’, $mydata ); GET $value = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘_boxpost_meta_field_value_key’, … Read more
To solve your magic question(s) you might need a little chain of processes, or just do something obvious simple. If I understand right, in the end, the current post you are saving, gonna change its slug (url) by pushing any “belonging” term name into the post url (slug)? Scenario A) If it is NOT a … Read more
