wp_insert_post breaks rewrite rules

Hard to say what your issue is without seeing more code, but I would bet that your issue will be resolved if you add this after inserting your post: do_action(‘save_post’, $post_ID, $post); WordPress uses this action to flush cache, rewrite rules, etc. Make sure to use the appropriate variables for $post_ID and $post, of course. … Read more

How can I stop wp_update_post messing up HTML example code?

It was https://wordpress.org/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/ plugin’s fault. There are some functions in it that have something to do with this, namely encode_shortcode_contents_slashed_noquickedit, encode_shortcode_contents_callback. Now I replaced it to https://wordpress.org/plugins/crayon-syntax-highlighter/ but by the time I confirmed it was the other plugin’s fault I had already written a solution. function wpse190396_insert_post_data($data, $postarr){ if($postarr[‘filter’] == ‘db’ && ($data[‘post_type’] == ‘fix’ … Read more

How do I pass an array as an argument to a WP-CLI command?

This is probably impossible since WP-CLI pass the arguments directly to wp_insert_posts. I’m automating this with wp eval. For example: wp eval ‘wp_set_object_terms(12 , array(1, 2, 3), “course”);’ The post id can be obtained when you create the post with –porcelain: wp post create … –porcelain Or by normal query with post title: wp eval … Read more

Add image to post from external URL

For those who would know : $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir(); $image_data = file_get_contents($image_url); $filename = basename($image_url); if(wp_mkdir_p($upload_dir[‘path’])) $file = $upload_dir[‘path’] . “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” . $filename; else $file = $upload_dir[‘basedir’] . “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” . $filename; file_put_contents($file, $image_data); $wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype($filename, null ); $attachment = array( ‘post_mime_type’ => $wp_filetype[‘type’], ‘post_title’ => sanitize_file_name($filename), ‘post_content’ => ”, ‘post_status’ => ‘inherit’ ); $attach_id … Read more
