Hello,
I'm wondering if it's possible to add filters and actions on Custom Fields in a post?
I have a plugin that extracts all <a> tags and converts them into trackable objects. This works great for the content and excerpt but I can't figure out how to filter the Custom Fields.
I've tried calling the below:
add_filter('the_meta', 'function_name', $priority)
which I read should work but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
The code you've shown adds a filter to a hook that doesn't exist within the default installation of wordpress. Are you trying to get your function to execute within the the_meta function in wp-includes/post-template.php? If so, then you need to attach your filter to the the_meta_key hook. Your code should then read:
add_filter('the_meta_key', 'function_name', $priority)
If this is not the function you want, then you'll have to add an apply_filters function call to run your custom filter.
