I've been scratching my head for a few days over this ... and simply can't figure it out.
I have a custom post-type save function hooked into "save_post". In it I am updating some post-meta fields and also generating a title and slug. In the code I am using the wp_update_post functin to save the title and slug I generated. That's when there seems to be a problem. The post IS updated however the browser continues to be busy until a timeout error occurs.
The code is qualified twice to prevent an infinite loop:
my_save_function() {
global $post;
if ( get_post_type( $post ) == 'myposttype' ) {
// meta updates go here
if ($post->post_title != $generatedpostitle) {
$post->post_title = $generatedposttitle;
$post->post_name = $generatedpostslug;
wp_update_post($post)
}
}
}
if I comment out the wp_update_post the code runs fine ... with it the browser hangs. Similar code is working in a different post-type on the same website without any problems.
any suggestions would be much appreciated.
