Can't hook wp_insert_attachment

    Hello,

    I am trying to hook the wp_insert_attachment function of wordpress,
    because I would like to preprocess the file upload from gravityforms.

    in the gravityforms function media_handle_upload I noticed the call to
    wp_insert_attachment like this:

    // Save the data
$id = wp_insert_attachment($attachment, $file, $post_id);
if ( !is_wp_error($id) ) {
    wp_update_attachment_metadata( $id, wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $id, $file ) );
}
    Copy

    I did the following in my plugin:

    public function __construct() {
    add_filter( 'wp_insert_attachment', array( $this, 'filter_insert' ), 1, 3 );
}
    Copy

    and the filter_insert function looks like this:

    public function filter_insert( $attachment, $file, $id){
exit;
}
    Copy

    The result is, that the filter_insert function is not called...

    best

    regards

    Hi Kubante,

    The wp_insert_attachment() function does not appear to contain any filter titled "wp_insert_attachment". I do see two actions that might of use to you; however, they are called after the attachment has already been inserted/updated. http://grab.by/b2ew

    Using the "add_attachment" hook you could call your plugins custom functionality, post process the image and then "update" the attachment by sending the updated attachment object back to the wp_insert_attachment function.
