wp_insert_post not updating custom taxonomy selected if logged in as a subscriber

It’s because within wp_insert_post current user capabilities are checked before adding the terms: if ( current_user_can($taxonomy_obj->cap->assign_terms) ) wp_set_post_terms( $post_ID, $tags, $taxonomy ); to get around this, use wp_set_object_terms instead after wp_insert_post to add the terms: $new_post = array( ‘post_title’ => $postTitle, ‘post_content’ => $post, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘post_date’ => date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’), ‘post_author’ => $user_ID, ‘post_type’ … Read more

Adding custom fields (post meta) before/during wp_insert_post()

You can hook your function to the wp_insert_post action hook: add_action( ‘wp_insert_post’, ‘wpse128767_add_meta’ ); function wpse128767_add_meta( $post_id ) { add_post_meta( $post_id, ‘key’, ‘value’ ); } To make sure your metadata has been added before any other insert hooks run, give it a higher priority: add_action( ‘wp_insert_post’, ‘wpse128767_add_meta’, 1 ); By default add_action() uses a priority … Read more

wp_insert_post issue

When inserting a new post, you must omit or leave the ID parameter empty, or the post will not be inserted. You can only set the ID if you are updating an existing post with that ID. See wp_insert_post in Codex for more information.

Set default Custom Post Meta Value

Use update_post_meta(), because if the meta key already exists add_post_meta() will do nothing if $unique is true and otherwise won’t update neither, while update_post_meta(), well, it will update the value of a existing field or create it, if it doesn’t exist yet.

Create Page With wp_insert_post() and AJAX

Ok, so after some fiddling, I’ve got things working. It turns out that I was setting the add_action hooks incorrectly for the AJAX part. The hooks need to be: add_action( ‘wp_ajax_nopriv_MYFUNCTION’, ‘MYFUNCTION’ ); and add_action( ‘wp_ajax_MYFUNCTION’, ‘MYFUNCTION’ ); …in my case and original code the function (‘MYFUNCTION’) in question was to create a post via … Read more

wp_insert_post() is returning the correct post ID, no failure, but the post content does not get updated

Don’t bother fixing your AJAX callback, there’s already a REST API endpoint that’s well tested and does all of this out of the box: example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/zen_page So lets enqueue a helper script to give us the URL and a security token/nonce: wp_enqueue_script( ‘wp-api’ ); You will must enable the REST API for your custom post type … Read more

Auto-generated posts not showing in backend (but being counted!)

Ugggggggh. “post_status” => “published”, is incorrect. It should be “post_status” => “publish”, This apparently puts posts into a state of limbo in which they’re not visible in the list (but still counted for some reason).

wp_insert_post is not creating revision in database

wp_insert_post() currently doesn’t create a revision for a newly created post. This is a known limitation (or feature?) in WordPress core and has been reported before on WordPress Trac. To work around this, you could try to manually call wp_save_post_revision() after inserting your post.

How to auto increment post title & post slug field?

I did not work it out using save_post or any other save-filter, so as I am only needing to do the same for the title, I used the default_title filter. This means that it works for drafts as well. add_filter( ‘default_title’, ‘change_title’, 10, 2 ); function change_title( $title, $post ) { return ‘PO’ . $post->ID; … Read more

Use wp_set_post_terms() instead of wp_insert_post()
