i want to run this function only if the current logged in user is the post author
global $user_ID;
$admin_user = get_user_by( 'id', $user_ID );
$selected = empty( $post->ID ) ? $user_ID : $post->post_author;
function return_custom_price( $post ) {
global $post;
$new_total = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_total_egp', true);
$price = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_regular_price', true);
//$sale_price = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_sale_price', true);
$now_price = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_price', true);
$woo_usd_rate = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_usd_rate', true);
$woo_price_usd = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_price_usd', true);
$cog = $woo_price_usd * $woo_usd_rate;
if($user_ID == $selected ){
update_post_meta($post->ID, '_regular_price', $new_total);
update_post_meta($post->ID, '_sale_price', '');
update_post_meta($post->ID, '_price', $new_total);
update_post_meta( $post->ID, '_wc_cog_cost', $cog );
}
}
add_action('save_post', 'return_custom_price');
this is what i've tried but it isn't working, and it ran anyway
what i'm trying to do is that when users post to wordpress using woocommerce from frontend, the posted post is added to wordpress in draft state, and admins just publish/approve the posts
what's happening right now is that in anyway if the admin clicked on publish the function runs and updates the post metas, i don't want to update the post metas unless if the admin who publish the post is the current owner/author of the post, and if the admin who approve/publish the post is not the post author, the post just get published without any metas updates
