The hook also fires when clicking on the “Add New” option for the custom post type, as it creates the draft in the DB, and when calling the
wp_update_postfunction as well.Feedback
You can know whether the hook fired from the “Add New” option by checking the post status:
if ( $post->post_status == "auto-draft" ) { return; }It’s also good to note that this hook is also called when trashing a post or restoring it from trash. — By Benjamin Intal —
