When you choose “Your CPT > Add New”, WP calls get_default_post_to_edit(), which actually creates an “empty” post (with ‘post_status’ => ‘auto-draft’) and then calls wp_insert_post(). This is what is causing your save_datasheet_meta() function to be called before you think it should. Hence, generally you should add some additional sanity checks to the beginning of any … Read more
How to manage saving custom field from Quick edit and Post Save using save_post action hook without colliding each other?
Not an exact answer to your question (hooking into the insert/edit link functionality), but possibly an alternate method that can achieve the same goal (inputting a permalink, outputting a Post ID): https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/url_to_postid
Did you try removing the IF statements and use save_post hook instead of save_post_listing to see if an IF statement is blocking the wp_set_post_terms? Also try wp_set_object_terms instead of wp_set_post_terms. Furthermore, if you can make sure it has to do with the if(get_post_meta($post_id, ‘wpcf-proprty_online’, true) == ‘y’) statement, then this post_meta has not been updated … 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);
Actions should not return anything, and action hooks are not built to do anything with a returned value. (That is what filters are for.) If you look at the source for that particular hook, you can see that even if you return something nothing happens. Whatever you return isn’t captured. It vanishes from the code. … Read more
The trouble is that save_post fires in lots of places other than the “edit post” screen – when it does, your code will think the checkbox is unchecked and overwrite your saved state. Add an additional hidden input to your meta box: <?php // Don’t global post, use the $post parameter already passed to the … Read more
A post’s title (post_title) is not saved in meta data; it’s a field within the post table. Here’s an updated version of your original code. Infinite loop is prevented by removing and then readding the wpse246957_update_post_info callback. Post title is successfully saved with the suffix – $post_id A check is in place to prevent the … Read more
Try this inside save_post but please note the code is not tested $old = get_post_meta($post_id, ‘products’); $new = isset ( $_POST[‘products’] ) ? $_POST[‘products’] : array(); if ( empty ($new) ) { // no products selected: completely delete alla meta values for the post delete_post_meta($post_id, ‘products’); } else { $already = array(); if ( ! … Read more
You aren’t retrieving the saved data and populating the form. function swpd_render_info_fields() { ?> <label for=”swpd_comany_addr”>Company Address</label> <input type=”text” name=”swpd_company_addr” id=”swpd_company_addr” /> <?php } There is nothing in that function that would insert your saved data. You just write a blank form every time. You need to be conditionally populating the input value. function swpd_render_info_fields($post) … Read more
