 *  Hi,
 * I’m very excited to see this plug-in resurrected. Can you tell me if, when creating
   a new event, it is possible to generate a standard post like you could with the
   original GigPress?

 * Hi [@rpiket](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rpiket/) and thanks for reaching
   out!
 * There is no built-in function to do that, but you could easily use the `save_post_{
   $post->post_type}` hook of WordPress.
    Link: [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/save_post_post-post_type/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/save_post_post-post_type/)
 * Something like:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'save_post_gigpress_show', 'create_post_with_show', 20, 3 );
   
       function create_post_with_show( $show_id, $show, $update ) {
             // Bail on autosaves, revisions, and trash transitions.
             if ( wp_is_post_autosave( $show_id ) || wp_is_post_revision( $show_id ) ) {
                 return;
             }
             if ( in_array( $show->post_status, [ 'auto-draft', 'trash', 'inherit' ], true ) ) {
                 return;
             }
   
             // Avoid recursion when wp_insert_post / wp_update_post fires save_post.
             remove_action( 'save_post_gigpress_show', 'gpr_companion_post_sync', 20 );
   
             // DO YOUR STUFF HERE
   
             add_action( 'save_post_gigpress_show', 'gpr_companion_post_sync', 20, 3 );
       }
       ```
   
 * I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions, or if we can
   close this as resolved.
 * Cheers,
    Andras

 * Thanks for your response. With the help of AI I was able to generate a plugiin
   to create a standard WP post whenever an event is created. It’s working great.
   I’d be glad to share it with you if you think it would be useful.

 * That is very disappointing. I spent a lot of time getting this to work. Now I’m
   back in the same boat with a plug-in that will eventually not be compatible with
   later versions of WP and PHP.
 * Why did you even bother to create it if you were going to shut it down after 
   a month??

 * Hi [@rpiket](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rpiket/)
