I asked this question in a different thread with Minesh but went ahead and set that one as "resolved" to not muddy the issues. The question is independent of that specific problem.

When writing functions, is there a way to test if a certain type of post is being created rather than limiting code to certain forms? For example if I have a post type called "funeral notice" and I only want a function to run whenever "funeral notice" is created or edited, is that possible?

Hi Susan,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Actually yes this is possible by using the save_post hook by checking the post type when the post is being created.

Take a look at the link below specifically the Book example
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/save_post

This should be a suitable example to get you up to speed with this.

Thanks,
Shane
