I need to run my function when a user deletes a media file from the media library. Is there a hook I can use?

Would appreciate it if someone could please point me to the right direction.

Thanks!

  • I did some searching and it looks I should be hooking on before_delete_post. Will give it a go and reposrt back here May 15, 2012 at 16:09

A more appropriate hook may be delete_attachment($post_id). You may also need to hook edit_attachment. Note that the post_id is that of the attachment type post, not the page/blog post to which the media is attached (if any).

In case you want to know when media is added, hook add_attachment($post_id). Note that add_attachment is called before intermediate size files are generated but after the media has been placed in the upload directory.
