The problem is that your code creates a post if the created post is not manually-published, but the new post is automatically-published, and those don’t match. Your conditional is not explicit enough and eneds to skip the scenario when your inserted post is inserted to prevent an infinite loop Instead of: function create_auto_post($post_ID) { if … Read more
the_modified_author() displays the name of the user whose ID has been stored in the _edit_last post meta field. If you want to update the ID after another user has updated the post, you can use something like update_post_meta( $post_ID, ‘_edit_last’, get_current_user_id() );. Then the new user’s name will be displayed when using the_modified_author(). Replace get_current_user_id() … Read more
Dunno if you looked at add_user_meta, but it takes an optional fourth parameter. function add_user_meta( $user_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, $unique = false ) Send “true” to the $unique value and it won’t insert it twice. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_user_meta/
This is because what you’re trying to do trips a security feature, post content is passed through wp_kses_post to strip out dangerous tags Administrators however, have the unfiltered_html capability, which allows them to put arbitrary dangerous HTML in content and titles. This is why you’re able to insert the tags via the editor. This still … Read more
As post_format is a custom taxonomy and the different formats terms, you should be able to use the tax_input parameter in the new post args array to set the format. Something along these lines, $new_post_args = array(); // e.g. $format_slug = ‘gallery’; $valid_formats = get_post_format_slugs(); if ( ‘standard’ !== $format_slug && in_array( $format_slug, $valid_formats ) … Read more
I did not actually test your code thoroughly, but on the first glimpse: your form input is named post_category while you’re grabbing $_POST[‘new_cat’]. Adjusting that (e.g., set both to post_category) should already do. // EDIT And why are you grabbing $_POST[‘category’] in line 5?
2020 Update: In case you landed here looking for a refresher on how to update the post’s meta, as I did, see the following edit: The post array argument in wp_insert_post() takes an inner array called meta_input, so you can create the post with proper meta in one database query. $page_id = wp_insert_post(array( ‘post_title’ => … Read more
Try changing this line wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, array($cat_ids), ‘categorycourses’, false); to wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $cat_ids, ‘categorycourses’, false); $cat_ids is already an array and you are writing with in array again. Hope it helps.
Capabilties – for guests? Your problem is that a guest doesn’t have any capabilities. And when posts get processed, they need to pass certain checks. One is unfiltered_html. From Codex: Allows user to post HTML markup or even JavaScript code in pages, posts, comments and widgets. Note: Enabling this option for untrusted users may result … Read more
The second parameter to wp_set_object_terms() takes an array, integer, or string. (array/int/string) (required) The slug or id of the term (such as category or tag IDs), will replace all existing related terms in this taxonomy. To clear or remove all terms from an object, pass an empty string or NULL. Integers are interpreted as tag … Read more
