Does update_comment_meta hook exists?

May 18, 20231 Views

Its been 3 days now I am fighting to resolve the issue here:

I am pretty sure, even if I am a beginner, that the hook update_comment_meta doesnt exist, and that it is not possible to use something like:

add_action( 'update_comment_meta', 'do_soemthing', 10, 4);

Any confirmations, or objections are highly welcomed.

Well, it’s a little bit complicated 😉

If you will search update_comment_meta hook, you won’t find it.

But it exists 🙂

There is update_comment_meta function and it calls update_metadata function with first param set to comment.

This update_metadata function does something like this (meta.php line 149):
```
do_action( "update_{$meta_type}_meta", $meta_id, $object_id, $meta_key, $_meta_value );
```
where $meta_type is the first param of this function.

So it will be update_comment_meta when this function is called by update_comment_meta function (because $meta_type is then equal to 'comment').
