post_edit_form_tag action

do_action( 'post_edit_form_tag', WP_Post $post ) 

Fires inside the post editor form tag.

Description

This action allows you to append code to the form tag in the default post/page editor.

Applies to the tag for the default post edit page (which is used for pages and custom post types). It is at the end of the form start tag and before the closing bracket.

<form name="post" action="post.php" method="post" id="post"<?php do_action('post_edit_form_tag'); ?>>

post_edit_form_tag includes the current post object as an argument. You can do something like this to restrict your custom enctype to a specific post type:function

 

add_action( 'post_edit_form_tag' , 'post_edit_form_tag' );

function post_edit_form_tag($post ) {
        if($post->post_type === 'your_custom_post_type'){
echo ' enctype="multipart/form-data"';
}
}

Parameters

  • $post : (WP_Post) Post object.
