I asked the programmer to have the title of every post automatically be the date selected and the place selected (to allow users to save some time). When I click 'publish' the title of the post is the date twice (ie; 03-26-15 03-26-15). Then the 'publish' button turns into an 'update' button. And then when I click 'update' the title will be correct (ie; 03-26-15 London). I'm trying to figure out how to get it this way after clicking 'publish' the first time. The programmer disappeared and I can't figure it out. Any help would be great.
function post_updated( $post_id ) {
global $post_type;
if ($post_type == 'place') {
if ( !wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) && !(defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE) ) {
$postTitle.=get_the_date( 'm/d/Y', $post_id );
$postTitle.=" ".get_the_title(get_post_meta($post_id, 'place_locale', true) ) ;
$post['ID'] = $post_id;
$post['post_title'] = $postTitle;
remove_action( 'save_post', 'post_updated' );
wp_update_post($post);
add_action( 'save_post', 'post_updated' );
}
}
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'post_updated' );
The .= operator appends, therefor your titles are being duplicated.
Simply change it to = and you should be fine.
Are you sure this is the only function? It seems to only have "update post" code.
Post creation is handled with wp_insert_post something like:
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => $title,
'post_content' => "",
'post_status' => "pending",
'post_author' => wp_get_current_user()->ID
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $my_post );
Old question, but this may help who got into this question:
There are some problems with the code:
global $post_type is not defined.
As mentioned by #dojs, you should use = operator instead of .= to define the variable first.
get_the_title() function only accepts post_id or post object as the param.
Since you're dealing with a custom post type of place, it's better to use a post type specific hook instead of the general and crowded save_post hook.
After these modifications, the final code could be something like this:
function tst_post_updated( $post_id )
{
if ( !wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) && !(defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE) ) {
$post_title = get_the_date( 'm/d/Y', $post_id );
$post_title .= " " . get_post_meta($post_id, 'place_locale', true);
$post_title = sanitize_title($post_title);
$post['ID'] = $post_id;
$post['post_title'] = $post_title;
remove_action( 'save_post_place', 'tst_post_updated' );
wp_update_post($post);
add_action( 'save_post_place', 'tst_post_updated' );
}
}
add_action( 'save_post_place', 'tst_post_updated' );

I have a WordPress hook: add_action( 'publish_post', 'post_published_notification', 10, 2 );
When publishing I am unable to get the featured image. I have tried many different methods to no avail. After the initial publishing of an article I get '0' for the thumbnail id but after editing and clicking update I get all the correct values.
Hook looks like this:
function post_published_notification( $post_id, $post ) {
$post_status = get_post_status( $post_id ); //always returns "publish"
$title = $post->post_title; //works correctly always
$permalink = get_permalink( $post_id ); //works correctly always
$excerpt = get_the_excerpt($post); //works correctly always
//All three variables below are empty when publishing a post but assign correctly when updating an existing post
$image = get_the_post_thumbnail_url( $post_id, 'medium' );
$image2 = get_the_post_thumbnail_url($post_id, 'article-thumbnail-image');
$image3 = get_post_meta( get_post_meta( $post_id, "_thumbnail_id", true ), "_wp_attached_file", true );
$thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( $post_id ); //returns 0 on publish; Correct Id on update
}
Try using the "wp_after_insert_post" hook.
add_action( 'wp_after_insert_post', 'after_insert_post', 10, 4 );
function after_insert_post( $post_id, $post, $update, $post_before ) {
if ( 'publish' !== $post->post_status||( $post_before && 'publish' === $post_before->post_status )||wp_is_post_revision( $post_id )) {
return;
}
$image_url = get_the_post_thumbnail_url($post_id);
}
I'd like to update post_author after update post by getting current user ID, but when I use this function wordpress created new post with correct author by copied current post
function change_author () {
if ( ! wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) ){
$post= array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_author' => get_current_user_id(),
);
wp_update_post( $post );
}
}
add_action('save_post', 'change_author');
I'd use the wp_insert_post_data hook instead of save_post. Rather than updating the post after it's saved, it's probably better to change the data before it gets inserted into the database as part of the save post action. Here's what I'd do:
function change_author ( $data ) {
if ( ! wp_is_post_revision( $data['ID'] ) ){
$data['post_author'] = get_current_user_id();
}
return $data;
}
add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data', 'change_author', 10, 1 );
I succeed in creating a metabox with custom field inside, and I restrict it to appear in a custom post type.
//define metabox
function product_info_en() {
add_meta_box( 'english_info', 'English Info', 'english_product_name_callback', array('product'), 'normal', 'high' );
}
//add to hook
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'product_info_en' );
The code to display it in the product page:
// display in add product admin page
function english_product_name_callback( $post ) {
//ob_start();
$content = esc_attr( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'product_desc_en', true ) );
//here goes the custom field
echo '<fieldset><div><label><b>English Product Name:</b></label><br/>';
echo '<input id="product_name_en" type="text" name="product_name_en" style="width:100%; margin:10px 0px"';
echo ' value="';
echo esc_attr( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'product_desc_en', true ) );
echo '"></div></fieldset>';
//here goes the wp_editor
echo '<fieldset><div><label><b>English Product Content Info:</b></label><div><br/>';
echo '<div>';
wp_editor($content, 'product_desc_en', array(
'wpautop' => true,
'media_buttons' => true,
'textarea_rows' => 10
)
);
echo '</div></fieldset>';
}
Here goes the code that do the saving job:
//save
function enginfo_save_meta_box( $post_id ) {
if ( defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) return;
if ( $parent_id = wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) ) {
$post_id = $parent_id;
}
$fields = [
'product_name_en',
];
foreach ( $fields as $field ) {
if ( array_key_exists( $field, $_POST ) ) {
update_post_meta( $post_id, $field, sanitize_text_field( $_POST[$field] ) );
}
}
update_post_meta( $post_id,'product_desc_en', wp_kses_post( $_POST['product_desc_en'] ) );
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'enginfo_save_meta_box' );
However, the custom created field that supposed to be going only into the newly created metabox, will always show up in the default "custom field". And this happens to all post type.
As shown below, What could possibly be the issue here?
To hide and not show your custom fields there in default box, please prefix your custom fields with underscore _ , so product_desc_en will become _product_des_en
I mean the names of your custom fields should be prefixed with underscore and WordPress default custom metabox will ignore them and not show in WordPress default GUI, but you can use and display them in your own custom metaboxes by calling with there new Underscore prefixed names.
I created a custom post type with a plugin. A registered user can insert a new post from front-end and it is saved as draft. When I edit it in back-end I need it is saved with private visibility.
I found this snippet to set visibility by default:
public function force_dpa_request_private( $data , $postarr ) {
if( empty( $data['post_name'] ) && 'my-cpt' == $postarr['post_type'] )
$data[ 'post_status' ] = 'private';
return $data;
}
but it works only on first insert, when I edit it the visibility change to public...
You can hook to the save_post which is called after the post is created or updated.
<?php
add_action( 'save_post', 'callback_save_post', 10, 3);
function callback_save_post( $post_ID, $post, $update ){
if ( 'my-cpt' === get_post_type( $post_ID) && ! wp_is_post_revision( $post_ID ) ) {
// unhook this function so it doesn't loop infinitely
remove_action('save_post', 'callback_save_post', 10 );
// Make the post private if it is edited else make it draft.
if ( $update ) {
$postarr = array(
'ID' => $post_ID,
'post_status' => 'private'
);
} else {
$postarr = array(
'ID' => $post_ID,
'post_status' => 'draft'
);
}
// Update the post.
wp_update_post( $postarr );
// re-hook this function.
add_action( 'save_post', 'callback_save_post', 10, 3);
}
}

Slight variation from your question, but you can still edit the post on creation, if you make all your post type private. Thus this works.
function force_type_private($post)
{
if ($post['post_type'] == 'Your Post Type')
$post['post_status'] = 'private';
return $post;
}
add_filter('wp_insert_post_data', 'force_type_private');
I am trying to add a custom meta box to a wordpress page which stores a value in a custom field. It is not working. The meta box is displayed but when you press update the value entered ito the text box is lost and nothing is written to the wp_postmeta table (no _c3m_sponsor_ur meta_key is created)
I have adapted this from an example online. I also tried adding a die statement to see if the save post is even called but nothing dies. I also dont understand why the add_post_meta isn't being created for the page
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'c3m_sponsor_meta' );
function c3m_sponsor_meta() {
add_meta_box( 'c3m_meta', 'Sponsor URL Metabox', 'c3m_sponsor_url_meta', 'page', 'side', 'high' );
}
function c3m_sponsor_url_meta( $post ) {
$c3m_sponsor_url = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_c3m_sponsor_url', true);
if (!isset($c3m_sponsor_url))
add_post_meta($post->ID, '_c3m_sponsor_url', '', false);
echo 'Please enter the sponsors website link below';
?>
<input type="text" name="c3m_sponsor_url" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $c3m_sponsor_url ); ?>" />
<?php
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'c3m_save_project_meta' );
function c3m_save_project_meta( $post_ID ) {
die('here');
global $post;
if( $post->post_type == "page" ) {
if (isset( $_POST ) ) {
update_post_meta( $post_ID, '_c3m_sponsor_url', strip_tags( $_POST['c3m_sponsor_url'] ) );
}
}
}
Any help in fixing this is muh appreciated
Thanks a lot
This may be help you:--
add_action( 'save_post', 'c3m_save_project_meta' );
function c3m_save_project_meta( $post_ID ) {
if ( isset( $_POST['post_type'] ) && 'page' == $_POST['post_type'] )
{
if (isset( $_POST ) ) {
update_post_meta( $post_ID, '_c3m_sponsor_url', strip_tags( $_POST['c3m_sponsor_url'] ) );
}
}
}
Edited:-
You can simply use Advanced Custom Fields plugin instead of using code. This plugin much helpful for custom meta fields.
