 * Hi.
 * I’m trying to write my first plugin. I need to add an action to the **save_post**
   hook, but it doesn’t called.
 * the add action is this:
    `add_action( 'save_post', 'wp_thumbalizr_thumbalize_box_save');`
 * When I debug it with the debug bar and the List of Action Hooks is:
    muplugins_loaded
   registered_taxonomy registered_post_type load_textdomain plugins_loaded sanitize_comment_cookies
   setup_theme doing_it_wrong_run wp_default_scripts after_setup_theme auth_cookie_valid
   set_current_user init widgets_init register_sidebar wp_register_sidebar_widget
   wp_default_styles admin_bar_init debug_bar_enqueue_scripts dmp_panelinit_DebugMyPluginPanel
   dmp_addpanel add_admin_bar_menus wp_loaded auth_redirect _admin_menu admin_menu
   admin_init current_screen load-post.php admin_action_edit parse_query pre_get_posts
   posts_selection dbx_post_advanced add_meta_boxes add_meta_boxes_cctor_coupon 
   do_meta_boxes admin_xml_ns admin_enqueue_scripts admin_print_styles-post.php 
   admin_print_styles admin_print_scripts-post.php admin_print_scripts wp_print_scripts
   admin_head-post.php admin_head adminmenu in_admin_header admin_bar_menu wp_before_admin_bar_render
   wp_after_admin_bar_render admin_notices all_admin_notices post_edit_form_tag 
   edit_form_after_title edit_form_after_editor submitpost_box post_submitbox_misc_actions
   post_submitbox_start edit_form_advanced dbx_post_sidebar in_admin_footer admin_footer
   loop_start the_post loop_end admin_print_footer_scripts admin_footer-post.php
   shutdown
 * Can you help me to set the correct action.
 * Thanks, Ariel
