Description

In WordPress 3.2, the delete_post hook seems to be passed the incorrect post ID. Specifically, if a post's ID is 5, then the functioned called by the delete_post hook is passed an integer value of 6, contradicting $_GET['post'] (of a string value of 5, in this example).

Attached to this ticket is a very crude plugin showing the problem. I have tested the same plugin against WordPress 3.1.4 and the issue is not visible there. To see the issue in action:

  1. Install the plugin & activate the plugin.
  2. Create a new post.
  3. Delete that post.

Is this a regression?

  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from new to closed

The ID being passed to the filter is a post revision, the $_GET value is the parent post ID. In my test these were 849 and 838 respectively, so being off by one is coincidence.

'delete_post' is actually invoked for each revision before the parent post, so if you remove the exit from your test code, you should see they match in the final iteration.
