Action hook for new pending posts?

2 Views

I’m looking for an action hook to link my function to when a completely new post is created with a status of pending?

I’m aware of ‘save_post’ and others but want to target specifically when a post is new.

Found this on a previous question: 

add_action('new_to_publish', 'your_function');
add_action('draft_to_publish', 'your_function');
add_action('pending_to_publish', 'your_function');

but could do with something like new_to_pending or similar?

Any suggestions would be great!

  2. Funny, I found this whilst searching for the same question over three years later.

    I thought I’d answer this incase I find it again in another three years…

    Take a look at the docs here

    The action you need is:

    {status}_{post_type}

    So for an event post type:

    function pendingPost($post)
{
   // do something... 
}
add_action('pending_event', 'pendingPost', 10, 1);
