# Edit Post panel get tags array

 * Hi,
 * this is a big of a hair-tearer. My plugin runs at post-save time, and adds tags
   to a post. The problem is, if I use
    `wp_get_post_terms()` to get the existing
   tags, I’m getting the tags from the last save of the post. This basically means
   that tags can’t be deleted.
 * Does anyone know how to get the current state of the Post Tags meta box in the
   Edit Post Dashboard panel? I’ve tried dumping out the $_POST data, but I can’t
   see anything obvious there, unless it’s hidden in a sub-array.
 * Cheers,
 * a|x

 * It’s OK, I got it. It was another error in my code that was causing the issue.
   It’s now working fine.
