Hi @rpiket and thanks for reaching out!
There is no built-in function to do that, but you could easily use the save_post_{$post->post_type} hook of WordPress.
Link: https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/hooks/save_post_post-post_type/
Something like:
add_action( 'save_post_gigpress_show', 'create_post_with_show', 20, 3 );
function create_post_with_show( $show_id, $show, $update ) {
// Bail on autosaves, revisions, and trash transitions.
if ( wp_is_post_autosave( $show_id ) || wp_is_post_revision( $show_id ) ) {
return;
}
if ( in_array( $show->post_status, [ 'auto-draft', 'trash', 'inherit' ], true ) ) {
return;
}
// Avoid recursion when wp_insert_post / wp_update_post fires save_post.
remove_action( 'save_post_gigpress_show', 'gpr_companion_post_sync', 20 );
// DO YOUR STUFF HERE
add_action( 'save_post_gigpress_show', 'gpr_companion_post_sync', 20, 3 );
}
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions, or if we can close this as resolved.
Cheers,
Andras

Thanks for your response. With the help of AI I was able to generate a plugiin to create a standard WP post whenever an event is created. It’s working great. I’d be glad to share it with you if you think it would be useful.
Great job @rpiket!
Unfortunately, I have to close this plugin. Thank you for your support.

That is very disappointing. I spent a lot of time getting this to work. Now I’m back in the same boat with a plug-in that will eventually not be compatible with later versions of WP and PHP.
Why did you even bother to create it if you were going to shut it down after a month??
Hi @rpiket
Yes, I know. I’m currently evaluating my options for the future.
