I have this function to set the title of a wordpress post which works properly for saving / updating posts. The major issue is that the function stops posts being deleted (it removes the title but the post still exists).
Is there a way to identify if the action is a delete post rather than save / update post and obviously i don't return the $data if a delete action?
add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data', array($this, 'updatetitle' ) , '99', 1 );
public function updatetitle($data) {
if($data['post_type'] != $property->post_name || !$_POST[${$this->active_class_var_name}->noncefield] ):
return $data;
endif;
if($_POST['address'] && $_POST[$property->noncefield]):
$data['post_title']= ucfirst (sanitize_text_field($_POST['address'])).' '.ucfirst (sanitize_text_field($_POST['town'])).' '.ucfirst (sanitize_text_field($_POST['county']) );
endif;
return $data;
}

Reset to default 1Not sure, but seems maybe $data['post_status'] would be set to 'trash' at that point. If so, then you could just do something like...
if ($data['post_status'] == 'trash') { return $data; }
...before the other manipulations.
EDIT
That code should work then - but needs to be at top of the function, like...
public function updatetitle($data) {
if ($data['post_status'] == 'trash') { return $data; }
if($data['post_type'] != $property->post_name || !$_POST[${$this->active_class_var_name}->noncefield] ):
return $data;
endif;
if($_POST['address'] && $_POST[$property->noncefield]):
$data['post_title']= ucfirst(sanitize_text_field($_POST['address'])).' '.
ucfirst (sanitize_text_field($_POST['town'])).' '.
ucfirst (sanitize_text_field($_POST['county']) );
endif;
return $data;
}
Your function in that case would simply return back the $data without making any other modifications to it.
Try the save_post hook instead of wp_insert_post_data.
It should solve your problem
