apply_filters( "get_{$meta_type}_metadata", mixed $value, int $object_id, string $meta_key, bool $single, string $meta_type )

Short-circuits the return value of a meta field.

Description

The dynamic portion of the hook name, $meta_type, refers to the meta object type (post, comment, term, user, or any other type with an associated meta table).
Returning a non-null value will effectively short-circuit the function.

Possible filter names include:

get_post_metadata
get_comment_metadata
get_term_metadata
get_user_metadata

Parameters

$value: The value to return, either a single metadata value or an array of values depending on the value of $single. Default null.
$object_id: ID of the object metadata is for.
$meta_key: Metadata key.
$single: Whether to return only the first value of the specified $meta_key.
$meta_type: Type of object metadata is for. Accepts 'post', 'comment', 'term', 'user', or any other object type with an associated meta table.
