Upon saving a new post (of a certain post type), a given operation has to run. The problem is that the operation is calling an external (slow) API, which means that the (not logget in) end-user might having to wait for 20-30 seconds, upon creating this new post (not good for the user-experience).
I’ve been struggling to find a solution for this and I don’t know if it’s the Gutenberg editor or if it’s the hook publish_post.
I am using the save_post hook to handle updates in a post that are done via the admin edit post page.
The standard or more obvious way to change a post author in WP is to use the wp_update_post() function, as shown in this question.
I have looked around for an answer here but I didn’t find exactly what I’m looking for so I give this a try:
I’m having problems with my code. I’m trying to remove a category from a post that’s using that category and then adding that same category when saving a post.
I only want 2 admis to be able to publish events. So I want to change any new event published by any other user to be set to “pending” when the post is “published.” Which, I guess, technically, means that it won’t get published. But, anyway, this is what I’ve tried:
I have created a php script (generate.php) which is querying posts on set criteria and then writing result in custom xml file. I would like to execute the generate.php everytime the post Save/Update button is pressed. Do you have any clue on how to do this? May be with cron jobs every X minutes would be better?
I have seen this question asked a bunch but nothing seems to work. I have a simple metabox within a CPT that needs to save two values. It needs to save a dropdown of pages and a url text field. I can get the text field to save and display but not the drop down. My class is being called on initialization. I think it has something to do with the $dropdown_args variable but I’m not too sure. I can see it saving in my database but it just doesn’t display the selection after saving. The description metabox saves and displays fine, it’s the landing page one that needs help. I have posted all my code and any help will be greatly appreciated.
I’m running a property site where many properties are sold in apartment blocks.
