wp_unique_term_slug fired only when adding a term

    Hi,

    I’m looking to customize the slugs of terms (tags/categories) just before they are stored in the database. While I’ve found the wp_unique_term_slug hook, it seems to work as intended only during term creation, not when editing existing terms.

    Is there a hook or an alternative method that would allow for consistent filtering of term slugs in both the creation and editing processes?

    (Note: I’m accustomed to the behavior of wp_unique_post_slug, which handles both cases for post slugs, and I’m looking for a similar capability with wp_unique_term_slug).

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    You can try the following code, maybe it will help you:-

    function insert_taxonomy_content( $term_id, $tt_id, $taxonomy ){
    // only insert content on certain taxonomies
    if ( $taxonomy === 'some_custom_taxonomy' ){

         // unhook this function so it doesn't loop infinitely
         remove_action('edited_term', 'insert_taxonomy_content');

         $content = "Some Content";
         $update_args = array(
             'description' => $content,
         );

         // update the post, which calls save_post again
         wp_update_term( $term_id, $taxonomy, $update_args );

         // re-hook this function
         add_action('edited_term', 'insert_taxonomy_content');
     }
 }
add_action('edited_term', 'insert_taxonomy_content', 10, 3);

    You need to change the slug, name and description as required!
