Customize imported episode post data during SSP import
When migrating episodes from Seriously Simple Podcasting (SSP), Benecaster creates a draft episode for each imported post. This filter runs just before each draft is saved, giving you a chance to adjust the episode’s title, content, or initial status. ⚠ It fires for SSP posts only — PowerPress imports never run it.
$post_data['post_title'] arrives with the setup wizard’s own Strip this prefix from episode titles field already applied, if one was set — this callback sees the already- stripped title and still has the final say over it.
A common use: cleaning up or reformatting titles during the import — for example, prepending the show name when merging multiple shows.
Code
<?php
add_filter( 'benecaster_ssp_import_post_data', function ( array $post_data, \WP_Post $ssp_post, int $show_id ): array {
// Prepend show name to imported episode titles.
$show_name = get_the_title( $show_id );
$post_data['post_title'] = $show_name . ': ' . $post_data['post_title'];
return $post_data;
}, 10, 3 );Hooks Used
