I am trying to trigger a plugin using:
add_action('edit_post', 'my_function') and
add_action('publish_post', 'my_function')
But nothing happens. If I switch to:
add_action('wp_head', 'my_function')
The plugin executes when loading my index page just like it should. But I dont want to call the plugin every time the page is loaded just when edit or publish is called. Is this a common problem, I just can't make it work?
What exactly does your function do?

It fetches values from the custom fields.
Then it makes a call to the Google API using the values from the custom field as searchwords.
The result is saved in a database.
As mentioned before this works when calling wp_head (or shutdown) but not for edit_post or publish_post.
What diagnostic steps have you taken? For example, have you made the first step of your function die('hiya!'); to confirm whether your plugin is even being triggered?
