# Use “save_post” action

 * Hello everyone,
 * this plugin is great but I have a question, is there a way to use the “save_post”
   action when a post is submitted via the front end so that I can trigger a function
   in the functions.php?
    I tested it but it only works when posted via backend.
   Is there a specific action I need to use with this plugin?

 * Hello there,
 * Thank you for writing to us. We checked and save_post hooks is being fired for
   the post submitted from our plugin too because we are using wp_insert_post function
   to insert/update the post which also executes the save_post hook. So save_post
   hook should be executed for the post submitted from our plugin too.
 * Can you please check once again and reconfirm?
 * Regards,
