i created a test-plugin that outputs all the variables & their content available to access for plugins:
i picked some that could be interesting to wordpress plugin developers:
interesting filters:
“This filter runs in wp-admin when loading a post for editing
two parameters: the content and the id of the post to be edited”
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/content_edit_pre
“Retrieve the numeric ID of the current post”
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_ID
Output All Variables Available to a Wordperss Plugin:
==== create plugin ====
/WORDPRESS/wp-content/plugins/test/test.php
fill with:
<?php
/**
* Plugin Name: test
* Plugin URI: https://dwaves.de/test
* Description: MISSION: Output All Variables Available to a Wordperss Plugin
* Version: 1.0
* Author: admin@dwaves.de
* Author URI: https://dwaves.de

*/
add_filter('the_content', 'myFunction');
add_filter('the_content', 'myFunction');
function myFunction() {
echo '<pre>';
// print_r($GLOBALS); // print all currently available/defined global variables
print_r($GLOBALS["posts"]); // output all posts
$current_post_id = $GLOBALS["wp_the_query"]->current_post; // probably get current post number in posts-array
echo $GLOBALS["posts"][$current_post_id]->post_content; // output content for current post
echo '</pre>';
}
