Custom add_action('save_post') causes html markup to disappear!
- by Scott B
I've added a custom "save_post" action to my theme (code is below). However, when I place images or video code in the post, its stripped away. The only way I can get it to stay is to comment out the add_action line. What do I need to do in order to keep all the post info intact?
add_action('save_post', 'custom_add_save');
function custom_add_save($postID){
if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) {
return $postID;
}
else
{
// called after a post or page is saved
if($parent_id = wp_is_post_revision($postID))
{
$postID = $parent_id;
}
if ($_POST['my_customHeader'])
{
update_custom_meta($postID, $_POST['my_customHeader'], 'my_customHeader');
}
else
{
update_custom_meta($postID, '', 'my_customHeader');
}
if ($_POST['my_customTitle'])
{
update_custom_meta($postID, $_POST['my_customTitle'], 'my_customTitle');
}
else
{
update_custom_meta($postID, '', 'my_customTitle');
}
}
}
function update_custom_meta($postID, $newvalue, $field_name) {
// To create new meta
if(!get_post_meta($postID, $field_name)){
add_post_meta($postID, $field_name, $newvalue);
}else{
// or to update existing meta
update_post_meta($postID, $field_name, $newvalue);
}
}
