_wp_get_default_posttype_form(): array
- Since
- 7.1.0
- Source
wp-includes/view-config.php:51
form configuration for post types that don't provide their own.Description
It is a sensible default for post, page, and custom post types alike rather than being tailored per type. Post types that need a different shape can replace it entirely with a dedicated form through their own filter callback.
It is intentionally NOT gated by supports. The registered fields are the single source of truth for what applies: each field is registered for a post type based on its supports (and related flags such as theme_supports), and the editor drops any form field whose definition is absent or whose isVisible returns false.

Performance profile
How much work a call to _wp_get_default_posttype_form() does, and what it touches: the algorithmic scaling, the Zend instruction count per call across PHP versions, the hooks it hands control to, and the core code that calls it. Measured from the compiled opcodes, not a stopwatch, so every number is identical on any machine running the same PHP version, and every function in core is ranked by cost.

Touches nothing outside its own arguments.
No loop in the body: the same number of instructions runs whatever you pass in.
Executed per call on PHP 8.5. The body compiles to 27.
Nothing here hands control to plugin code.
1 place in core call this, so the cost is paid more often than your own code shows.
What one call costs · 1 distinct outcome
One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost _wp_get_default_posttype_form() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.
| When | Instructions | Calls it makes |
|---|---|---|
| always | 27 | __(), __() |
Across PHP versions
Compiles the same on PHP 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6-dev: 27 instructions, 27 executed per call, 0 branches. The work does not change between versions.
An instruction is not a fixed amount of time, so a matching count is not necessarily the same speed; what it rules out is a difference in the work itself.
