apply_filters( “add_{$meta_type}_metadata”, null|bool $check, int $object_id, string $meta_key, mixed $meta_value, bool $unique )

Returning a non-null value will effectively short-circuit the function.

Possible hook names include:

add_post_metadata
add_comment_metadata
add_term_metadata
add_user_metadata

Parameters

$checknull|bool: Whether to allow adding metadata for the given type.
$object_idint: ID of the object metadata is for.
$meta_keystring: Metadata key.
$meta_valuemixed: Metadata value. Must be serializable if non-scalar.
$uniquebool: Whether the specified meta key should be unique for the object.
