It goes like this: process_form() process_ask_form() wp_insert_post() add_action( ‘save_post’, ‘action_on_new_post’) action_on_new_post() do_action( ‘ap_processed_new_question’) add_action( ‘ap_processed_new_question’, ‘after_new_question’) after_new_question() do_action( ‘ap_after_new_question’) // <— add_action( ‘ap_after_new_question’, ‘new_question’ ) new_question() add_action( ‘ap_after_new_question’, ‘new_question’ ); //reputation new_question() //reputation Really simple!

public function after_new_question($post_id, $post) { update_post_meta( $post_id, ANSPRESS_VOTE_META, '0' ); update_post_meta( $post_id, ANSPRESS_SUBSCRIBER_META, '0' ); update_post_meta( $post_id, ANSPRESS_CLOSE_META, '0' ); update_post_meta( $post_id, ANSPRESS_FLAG_META, '0' ); update_post_meta( $post_id, ANSPRESS_VIEW_META, '0' ); update_post_meta( $post_id, ANSPRESS_UPDATED_META, current_time( 'mysql' ) ); update_post_meta( $post_id, ANSPRESS_SELECTED_META, false ); // Update answer count. update_post_meta( $post_id, ANSPRESS_ANS_META, '0' ); // Update user question count meta. ap_update_user_questions_count_meta( $post_id ); /** * ACTION: ap_after_new_question * action triggered after inserting a question * @since 0.9 */ do_action( 'ap_after_new_question', $post_id, $post ); } public function after_new_answer($post_id, $post) { $question = get_post( $post->post_parent ); // Set default value for meta. update_post_meta( $post_id, ANSPRESS_VOTE_META, '0' ); // Set updated meta for sorting purpose. update_post_meta( $question->ID, ANSPRESS_UPDATED_META, current_time( 'mysql' ) ); update_post_meta( $post_id, ANSPRESS_UPDATED_META, current_time( 'mysql' ) ); // Get existing answer count. $current_ans = ap_count_published_answers( $question->ID ); // Update answer count. update_post_meta( $question->ID, ANSPRESS_ANS_META, $current_ans ); update_post_meta( $post_id, ANSPRESS_BEST_META, 0 ); ap_update_user_answers_count_meta( $post_id ); /** * ACTION: ap_after_new_answer * action triggered after inserting an answer * @since 0.9 */ do_action( 'ap_after_new_answer', $post_id, $post ); } Assuming developers are not insane, ap_after_new_question and ap_after_new_answer should do exactly what you want. It’s all in sources.

This has been solved.

No, this is unwanted behavior in each and every online script i know.

@jmoon: have a look at the wp-content/plugins/tags-for-anspress/tags-for-anspress.php file. In there you’ll finde the following hooks: add_action('ap_ask_form_fields', array($this, 'ask_from_tag_field'), 10, 2); add_action('ap_ask_fields_validation', array($this, 'ap_ask_fields_validation')); add_action( 'ap_processed_new_question', array($this, 'after_new_question'), 0, 2 ); add_action( 'ap_processed_update_question', array($this, 'after_new_question'), 0, 2 ); Simply copy & paste those and the corresponding functions. To make a clear separation between questions & answers, make sure you also copy & rename the function names. I’ve done it like the following: add_action('ap_answer_form_fields', array($this, 'answer_form_tag_field'), 10, 2); add_action('ap_answer_fields_validation', array($this, 'ap_answer_fields_validation')); add_action( 'ap_processed_new_answer', array($this, 'after_new_answer'), 0, 2 ); add_action( 'ap_processed_update_answer', array($this, 'after_new_answer'), 0, 2 ); Also, If you would like to make selecting tags optional you have to remove the ap_ask_fields_validation or the ap_answer_fields_validation hooks.

+1 to see this feature configurable in the official plugin 🙂
