Description

apply_filters( 'rest_pre_insert_<post_type>', (stdClass) $prepared_post, (WP_REST_Request) $request ); 

The dynamic portion(s) of the hook name refer to the post type slug.

Parameters (2)

0. $prepared_post (stdClass)

An object representing a single post prepared for inserting or updating the database.

1. $request (WP_REST_Request)

Request object.

Usage

To run the hook, copy the example below.

$prepared_post = apply_filters( 'rest_pre_insert_{$post_type}', $prepared_post, $request ); 
                         
if ( !empty( $prepared_post ) ) { 
                         
   // everything has led up to this point... 
                         
} 
  

The following example is for adding a hook callback.

// define the rest_pre_insert_<post_type> callback 
function filter_rest_pre_insert_post_type( $prepared_post, $request ) { 
    // make filter magic happen here... 
    return $prepared_post; 
}; 
         
// add the filter 
add_filter( "rest_pre_insert_{$post_type}", 'filter_rest_pre_insert_post_type', 10, 2 ); 

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

// remove the filter 
remove_filter( "rest_pre_insert_{$post_type}", 'filter_rest_pre_insert_post_type', 10, 2 );
