| Nov 13, 2018 at 9:18 | comment | added | lowtechsun | Thank you for getting back to me. Just found out about this yesterday and thought the concept of this is confusing. Meaning first I open the page to add a new post. At this stage I thought I have not already created a post. Only once I hit Publish I would think the new post is created. Taking this further I hope WP does delete the auto-draft post if I hit Add New but then leave the page without hitting Publish? | |

I think that the 'save_post' action hook is also fired when hitting Add New (Post, Page, CPT) in the dashboard. To see yourself just run this code. function save_post_test( $post_id, $post, $update ) { print ' post_id : '; var_export( $post_id ); print ' post : '; var_export( $post ); print ' update : '; var_export( $update ); wp_die( 'save_post hook runs when you click Add New..' ); } add_action( 'save_post', 'save_post_test', 10, 3 ); Why does the 'save_post' action run on Add New instead of on Publish? To make the auto-draft post I suppose.
