update_(meta_type)_metadata_by_mid filter-hook . WP 5.0.0

Short-circuits updating metadata of a specific type by meta ID.

The dynamic portion of the hook, $meta_type, refers to the meta object type (post, comment, term, user, or any other type with an associated meta table). Returning a non-null value will effectively short-circuit the function.

Usage

add_filter( 'update_(meta_type)_metadata_by_mid', 'filter_function_name_5', 10, 4 );
function filter_function_name_5( $check, $meta_id, $meta_value, $meta_key ){
	// filter...

	return $check;
}

$check(null/true/false)

Whether to allow updating metadata for the given type.

$meta_id(int)

Meta ID.

$meta_value(mixed)

Meta value. Must be serializable if non-scalar.

$meta_key(string/true/false)

Meta key, if provided.
