[Resolved] Insert multiple meta key – meta value pairs at once on post creation

[George]

Hi Tom, I hope you won’t hate me for it as it’s slightly out of topic.

The code found here creates a metakey with the value of 100 in the database whenever a new post is created.

How can I modify the code so that another pair is also inserted at the same time using the same metakey (let’s say number 50)?

I imagine that I need to put the values in an array and do a for loop or something but I can’t get my head around it. Can you maybe help? It shouldn’t take you long. hopefully!

Cheers!

Doh. Never mind, I got it working. Seems like inserting another add_post_meta line but removing the true argument did the trick.

//Set Default Meta Value
function set_default_meta_new_post($post_ID){

if ($current_field_value == '' && !wp_is_post_revision($post_ID)){
    add_post_meta($post_ID,'groups-read','2');
    add_post_meta($post_ID,'groups-read','4');
}
return $post_ID;
}

add_action('wp_insert_post','set_default_meta_new_post');

Cheers
