How automatically enter the “meta_data_filter_cat” when an user inserts a new article

Meta filter category ID - keeps in each post with the same name key 'meta_data_filter_cat'.

So if you want to allow your user create new posts with already predefined or selected 'Meta filter category ID' you are need in your wp theme functions.php add next code:

add_action('save_post', 'my_save_post', 1);

function my_save_post() {
    if (!empty($_POST)) {
        global $post;
        if (is_object($post)) {
            $meta_data_filter_cat_id = 777;
            //$meta_data_filter_cat_id=$_POST['meta_data_filter_cat_id'];
            if ($post->post_type == '__your_post_type_slug_here__') {
                update_post_meta('meta_data_filter_cat', $meta_data_filter_cat_id);
            }
        }
    }
}

add_action('save_post', 'my_save_post', 1);

function my_save_post() {

if (!empty($_POST)) {

global $post;

if (is_object($post)) {

$meta_data_filter_cat_id = 777;

//$meta_data_filter_cat_id=$_POST['meta_data_filter_cat_id'];

if ($post->post_type == '__your_post_type_slug_here__') {

update_post_meta('meta_data_filter_cat', $meta_data_filter_cat_id);

}

Where $meta_data_filter_cat_id is predefined meta_data_filter_cat ID which of course you can get using array $_POST if you are allowing your user to select filter category filter ID on the front ...
