    Moving a post to trash is also a change, so the hook is also used. If you do not want your application to be processed in this case, check the status of the post within your function.

    Agreed, checking status is what you should to. FWIW, you could use the dynamic action hook `“{$old_status}_to_{$new_status}” to only call your callback for specific status changes like “draft_to_publish” and “publish_to_trash”.

    @bcworkz and @threadi , thank you for providing your valuable time for this issue. I have fixed this in another line where I was verifying the nonce. Initially, I was using wp_die() to confirm that the nonce is verified. However, when I changed wp_die() to return;, the function was not being called when I moved the post into the trash.
