Import JSON feed to WordPress

  1. json_decode the JSON into an array.

    $slices = json_decode(file_get_contents('yourJSONFile.json'),true);
    
  2. Loop into the data

    if ($slices) { 
       foreach ($slices as $slice) {
          $title = $slice[1];
          // insert more logic here
      }
    } 
    
  3. Create a post programmatically by using wp_insert_post.

    // Create post object
    $my_post = array(
         'post_title'    =>  $title,
         'post_content'  => 'This is my content',
         'post_status'   => 'publish',
         'post_author'   => 1,
         'post_category' => array(8,39)
    );
    
    // Insert the post into the database and return the new post ID
    $post_id = wp_insert_post( $my_post, true );
    if ( is_wp_error( $post_id ) ) {
         // error handling....
    }
