 * Hi,
 * I want to get the post data (post_title, post_content, post_tags & post_categories)
   before the post data is saved into the database. The reason is, I want to update
   my own contents with the submitted post data before it’s saved into db.
 * I have tried ‘content_save_pre’, but there I can get only the post_content.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Not sure if ‘save_post’ or ‘wp_insert_post’ will help you but might look at the`
   function wp_insert_post` in `wp-includes/post.php` to see what other filter/action
   you might hook into.

 * well, I have tried ‘wp_insert_post_data’ hook, where I can get the post_title&
   able to update the post_content. But, not able to get the tags & categories of
   the post.
 * Any other useful hooks or ways?
