automator_pro_trigger_update_postmeta_ignore_keys

Filters post meta keys to ignore when updating post metadata in AutomatorWP Pro.

add_filter( 'automator_pro_trigger_update_postmeta_ignore_keys', $callback, 10, 3 );

Description

Filters meta keys that the "Post meta updated" trigger should ignore. Developers can add or remove keys from the default `_edit_lock` array to prevent unnecessary trigger executions. This hook fires *after* a post meta value is updated.

Usage

add_filter( 'automator_pro_trigger_update_postmeta_ignore_keys', 'your_function_name', 10, 3 );

Parameters

$post_id (mixed)
This parameter contains an array of meta keys that should be ignored when triggering updates for post meta values.
$meta_key (mixed)
This parameter represents the ID of the post whose meta data was updated.
$_meta_value (mixed)
This parameter represents the meta key of the post that is being updated.

Return Value

The filtered value.
