Unicode characters are saved in a funny way in the DB
Do not touch that string. URLs must be percent-encoded, and what you see is the slug for the URL. A browser will display the characters just fine, so don’t worry about the database.

wp_insert_post removes information when updating
You are using the wrong function. wp_insert_post() is for creating posts. You need wp_update_post() if you want to update existing data.
Inserting current user ID into Post for Author
You need to use the global variable for the user ID (if you actually need to use it) somewhat like this: global $user_ID; get_currentuserinfo(); The get_currentuserinfo() call will populate the global $user_ID variable which you can then use directly, as you have it in your args currently.

importing table data to custom post type
$row doesn’t look like you think it does. $wpdb->get_results will by default return an array of objects. Your code– ‘post_title’ => $row[‘Title’]— treats an object like an array and should generate a Fatal Error, which you’d see if you had debugging enabled. Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in … You … Read more
Save the Post ID from wp_insert_post($post); into a text file?
You use add_action! Like this: function save_id_to_file($post_id){ //use your file creation/save function here return $post_id; } add_action(‘wp_insert_post’,’save_id_to_file’);

wp_insert_post Only creates draft
The reason why your code created drafts only is status=”pending” make it publish Like // Prepare to save! do_action( ‘wpo_frontend_before_save_order’, $order_details, $user_details ); $post = array( ‘post_title’ => $order_details[‘title’], ‘post_author’ => get_current_user_id(), ‘post_type’ => ‘wp_order’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’ ); $postID = wp_insert_post( $post ); if ( is_wp_error( $postID ) ) { set_transient( ‘wpo_new_order_message_’ . get_current_user_id(), … Read more
WordPress Frontend Post Form (Bootstrap Modal) Not Creating Post
The nonce field is not added to the form, and is therefore not passed in the POST request when submitting the form. Thus, isset( $_POST[‘post_nonce_field’] ) returns false and the conditional is never true. Try moving the nonce field to someplace between the opening form tag ( <form>) and closing form tag (</form>). EDIT: The … Read more
Insert data from custom created PHP page into wp_postmeta table
The error message basically says that $wpdb is not an object so you can’t call any methods on it. As we can’t see where $wpdb is defined in the source you posted it’s hard to tell any further details. Are you even including wordpress in your external file? You need to require wp-load.php to use … Read more
