wp_transition_post_status after save post action

[sebastian.pisula]

I want save all post meta to file when post was published. I use publish_post action that I haven't post meta because post meta was saved in save_post action.

I know that I can use save_post to save all post meta to file but I think that action publish_post is better. So we must move

wp_transition_post_status( $data['post_status'], $previous_status, $post );

before

return $post_ID;

I think that this is appropriate position for this function.

Developers hooking onto save_post and wp_insert_post can rely on wp_transition_post_status() being run. This patch changes that by running it after the hooks have been executed.

I'm sure this would break lots of things and therefore I don't see any reason to implement this.

I concur, moving forward with closing this ticket.
