Your current code should be correctly creating the post inside your Products post type. You’re missing the bit that updates the post meta holding the image. Assuming the meta_key is product_image, then running this on success should do: update_post_meta( $pid, ‘product_image’, $attachment_id ); on a side note: don’t forget to run wp_generate_attachment_metadata and wp_update_attachment_metadata after … Read more
Your code is correct. I have tested it and it works. I think what you are missing, and what I have missed while testing (banged my head against the wall for this mistake) is the fact that these posts do not show up at the top of your post list. Remember, by default, that posts … Read more
You can include wp-load.php (in the root WordPress directory). This will give you access to the WordPress functions. Note that you can also load wp-blog-header.php, it loads wp-load.php eventually; wp-load will be lighter weight in the end.
wp_insert_post runs when a post is updated as well. If you scan the source you will see numerous blocks of code switching between an update or not an update. In fact, wp_update_post() just passes data, after a little processing, to wp_insert_post() for the bulk of the work. That is why your code runs more than … Read more
Finally got this working! This is just a basic test to get the form working, but if anyone else is working on a similar issue, this is how I got it to work. Another important thing, to keep the “Headers already sent” error away, make sure that there are NO errors i.e. all fields are … Read more
Read up on Embeds. To trigger an embed use wp_oembed_get($url). In general the url needs to be on it’s own line with a space below and above when inside the_content. wp_insert_post() has nothing to do with embeds as the embed HTML is usually generated when passed through the_content filter. To add support for non-oEmbed sites … Read more
wp_insert_post() returns either one of three things the newly created post’s ID a WP_Error object if $wp_error is set to true if an error occured during post insertion in which case the post is not inserted 0 if $wp_error is set to false (default) if an error occured during post insertion in which case the … Read more
If you’d like to use WordPress functions inside your naked PHP file, you’ll have to load the WordPress environment: require_once ‘/path/to/wp-load.php’; That said it’s best practice to NOT handle things via separate PHP files like that outside of WordPress, but use a plugin instead and fire your code on an appropriate action. You can use … Read more
Never use GUIDs in WordPress, you definitely got that right. However nothing prevents you use concept of unique identifiers. You already have values for them, just ignore native column and store them in post meta as arbitrary data. On import you can check for that. For crazy volume it might require some performance tweaking but … Read more
From what I understand you are trying to change the permalink structure of the user, so instead of showing yoursite.com/author/yourusername it will show yoursite/profile/yourusername? You can add a rewrite rule to the permalink structure to make that change: function yourdomain_user_rewrite() { global $wp_rewrite; $wp_rewrite->author_base=”profile”; $wp_rewrite->author_structure=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” . $wp_rewrite->author_base . ‘/%author%’; } add_action( ‘init’, ‘yourdomain_user_rewrite’ ); Then … Read more
