 * Hi,
 * I’ve created 2 columns in wp_posts, post_language and post_project, because i
   want to view certain posts and media according the session that i passed from
   another site to the wordpress.
 * Now, i’ve got a problem in media section. I’m trying to insert a media and give
   the 2 columns values but i cannot achieve this.
    In my plugin i have this one..
 *     ```
       function modify_columns( $post_id ) {
       	remove_action( 'save_post', 'modify_columns' );
       	wp_update_post( array( 'ID' => $post_id, 'post_project' => "".$_SESSION['project']."", 'post_language' => "".$_SESSION['language']."" ) );
       	add_action( 'save_post', 'modify_columns' );
       }
       ```
   
 * add_action(‘save_post’, ‘modify_columns’);
 * function wp_insert_post_data_filter( $data, $postarr ) {
    $data[‘post_project’]
   = $_SESSION[‘project’]; $data[‘post_language’] = $_SESSION[‘language’]; return
   $data; }
 * add_filter( ‘wp_insert_post_data’, ‘wp_insert_post_data_filter’, 10, 2 );
 *     ```
       This is in order to pass the values to the 2 columns. This works like a charm in posts and pages section. But in media there is a problem.
   
       Is there anyone that can help me resolve this one?
   
       I forgot to mention that if i placed this code
       ```
   
 * $data[‘post_project’] = $_SESSION[‘project’];
    $data[‘post_language’] = $_SESSION[‘
   language’];` in post.php in wp_insert_post function before if ( ‘attachment’ 
   === $post_type ) { it works, but i don’t want to change the core files because
   if i update the wp, i will lose all my changes.
 * Please help me resolve this!
 * Thank you in advance!
