I am sorry I am still very confused by this. Can you help clarify what bit of code needs to go in which function? I only want to use this form in the admin not on the front end.

I simply need to unzip a file if its a new post being added. If its being updated, then I don’t want to unzip any file or do anything with it other than save the revised fields in the form. Therefore there shouldn’t be any code needed if the form is updated.

Its not complex at all so Ive no idea why two functions would be needed if I only want to do this in the admin panel.
