   I have a series of functions that run when a post is published, but I don't want them to run on any updates to that post.

   I tried testing the 'post_status' with:
   

   if (!$_POST['post_status'] == 'publish') {
   do stuff
   }

   but to no avail. Any ideas?

   Thanks!

   There's probably a cleaner way of doing this, but
   

   if( ( $_POST['post_status'] == 'publish' ) && ( $_POST['original_post_status'] != 'publish' ) ) {
   
     echo "New post!";
   
   }

   If you compare the original post status and the new one, that should show whether it's an update or not :)

   Kawauso, that seems to be working perfectly. Many thanks!
