  Hi,
  
  Is there a filter that either Piklist or WP provides where you can manipulate the data being saved to the database for custom fields (post meta) such as piklist_pre_update_option?
  
  Can piklist_pre_update_option be used to do this?
  
  I’m developing a small client management system that keeps tracks of all the ftp account and domains etc and I would like to save the username and password for these accounts in a custom post type (e.g. Accounts) and would like to save the password using WP hashing functions or bcrypt.
  
  Suggestions?

  You can also use standard “save_post” filter and modify the fields you want after.

  Hi ndbe,
  
  Thanks for the suggestion, I will try it. I came across that filter but was unsure since it fires after the post is saved and wanted to manipulate before it was saved to the database but perhaps this is my best shot. I will let you know if it works out.
  
  Thanks again
