    When using WordPress 3.7 or later, it’s a good idea to use the save_post_{$post->post_type} hook when it makes sense to in order to reduce code and fire less hooks overall when posts are created and updated.

    Documentation can be found here: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/save_post_post-post_type/

    add_action( 'save_post', 'set_post_default_category', 10,3 );

function set_post_default_category( $post_id, $post, $update ) {
	// Only want to set if this is a new post!

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