Hook for post permalink update

2 Views

I would like to know what hook should I used when the permalink/url of a post is modified.
My goal is to get the old permalink and new permalink so I can used it for my plugin.
Thanks.

[EDIT]
Just want to clarify the question. I would like to get the old and new url in a scenario for example, when a user select one its post in the admin area, and edit the current permalink/url(/helloworld) into a new permalink/url(/helloworld_new) of the selected post.
I would like to get the complete url the post being edited.

  1. You need to exactly use wp_insert_post_data. This contains array of post data what will be store into database after WordPress has done all of the validation/sanitization.

    add_filter('wp_insert_post_data', 'wpse_wp_insert_post_data', 10, 2);
function wpse_wp_insert_post_data($data, $post_attr)
{
    // you get the post_name using $data['post_name'];

    // post id will not be present for the first insert
    // but you can check $post_attr['ID'] to be sure if an ID has been passed.
    // note: $data won't contain post id ever, only the $post_attr will have it

    // if you want to compare the name, you could use -
    if( isset($post_attr['post_name']) 
        && !empty($post_attr['post_name']) 
        && $post_attr['post_name'] != $data['post_name'] )
    {
        // So here you can guess post name has been changed
        // note: $post_attr['post_name'] might come undefined or empty sometime.
        // and $data['post_name'] could also comes up empty, but it will be always defined
    }

    // you do not need to modify anything, so you should return it as it is
    return $data;
}

    Hope it helps.

  2. The action is update_option_permalink_structure.

    The follow example works with this hook.

    add_action( 'update_option_permalink_structure' , 'my_custom_function', 10, 2 );
function my_custom_function( $old_value, $new_value ) {

    // test
    var_dump( $old_value );
}

    The hook in this context is always update_option_{$option} [or update_option_{$option_name} (deprecated since WordPress 3.6)].

    Also related is pre_update_option_{$option} and a hook for the Multisite version update_site_option_{$option} and pre_update_site_option_{$option}.
