plugins – Auto-saving post title based on custom field – for custom post type
Question
I’ve set up a CPT via a plugin, including custom fields for first and last name, so I’d like to automatically make the post title “First Name + ‘ ‘ + Last Name”.
This post almost got me there:
How To Set Custom Post Type Title Without Supports
But my version (code below) creates a title called “Array Array”.
add_filter( 'save_post_practitioners', 'hexagon_practitioner_set_title', 10, 3 );
function hexagon_practitioner_set_title ( $post_id, $post, $update ){
//This temporarily removes filter to prevent infinite loops
remove_filter( 'save_post_practitioners', __FUNCTION__ );
//get first and last name meta
$first = get_metadata( 'first_name', $post_id ); //meta for first name
$last = get_metadata( 'last_name', $post_id ); //meta for last name
$title = $first . ' ' . $last;
//update title
wp_update_post( array( 'ID'=>$post_id, 'post_title'=>$title ) );
//redo filter
add_filter( 'save_post_practitioners', __FUNCTION__, 10, 3 );
}
What am I getting wrong?
Thanks!
