Get the current post_type context in the WordPress admin.

get_current_post_type.php

<?php
/**
 * gets the current post type in the WordPress Admin
 */
function get_current_post_type() {
  global $post, $typenow, $current_screen;
	
  //we have a post so we can just get the post type from that
  if ( $post && $post->post_type )
    return $post->post_type;
    
  //check the global $typenow - set in admin.php
  elseif( $typenow )
    return $typenow;
    
  //check the global $current_screen object - set in sceen.php
  elseif( $current_screen && $current_screen->post_type )
    return $current_screen->post_type;
  
  //lastly check the post_type querystring
  elseif( isset( $_REQUEST['post_type'] ) )
    return sanitize_key( $_REQUEST['post_type'] );
	
  //we do not know the post type!
  return null;
}

?>

Not working for me :(

if( 'album' == pj_get_current_post_type() ){
// yoast seo metabox priority low
add_filter('wpseo_metabox_prio', 'pj_wpseo_metabox_prio_callback');
function pj_wpseo_metabox_prio_callback(){
return 'default';
}
}
