Trigger isn't only updating new entries...

In WordPress, I'm taking the Tag value (term_id in wp_terms) over my own data table (a_players), so I can link the additional information in my data table to each Tag's archive page.

The Trigger below does what I need. However, it doesn't just do new Tag entries. In testing it before my site goes live, I noticed it also linked previously established entries. That tells me it's scanning both data tables regardless if it's necessary or not.

So while it's taking care of my needs, I'm wondering how I can make this more efficient by making sure it just applies it to the term_id of the new entries.


Action Time: After
Event: Insert

update a_players p
join wp_terms t
set p.wpID = t.term_id
where t.slug = p.wpSlug
