Where is the code that catches an processes the $_POST data? Is it in a template file? Or is it in a function that is run on a hook? If it’s the latter, and if taxonomy_exists() is returning false as you suggest here (http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/45798/wp-insert-post-and-custom-taxonomy#comment58402_45810), it’s possible that you’re checking before register_taxonomy has had a chance … Read more
Today, I was trying to insert an imported data into WordPress. I was using wp_insert_post to insert data, and it threw the following error: WP_Error Object ( [errors] => Array ( [db_update_error] => Array ( [0] => Could not update post in the database ) ) [error_data] => Array ( ) ) My friend said … Read more
It is not bug, actually WordPress does not allow (using arguments) to set post modification date. Internally WordPress set it to current time if you are updating an existing post else just set it to post date. in /wp-includes/post.php#L3192 you can see wp_insert_post does not use this argument if ( $update || ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00’ == … Read more
The post thumbnail is just saved as post meta with the key: _thumbnail_id. So after you insert the post and get the post id, you can set the post meta for that post. The $thumbnail_id is just the ID of the image you’d like to set as the thumbnail, up to you since I can’t … Read more
You kind of answered the question yourself already, Create a function that will create the 3 posts ex: function create_new_user_posts($user_id){ if (!$user_id>0) return; //here we know the user has been created so to create //3 posts we call wp_insert_post 3 times. // Create post object $my_bio_post = array( ‘post_title’ => ‘bio’, ‘post_content’ => ‘This is … Read more
You’ll have to do this in two steps. First, you will create a post in the draft mode, using wp_insert_post(). The wp_insert_post itself will return to you the ID of the inserted post: <?php $new_post = array( ‘post_title’ => ‘Draft title’, ‘post_status’ => ‘draft’ ‘post_type’ => ‘my_custom_type’ ); $postId = wp_insert_post($new_post); ?> <form method=”post” action=”your-action.php”> … Read more
335 is not an error message or code, it is the new post’s ID that is retuned, so in short, the new post you have inserted was given the ID of 335 UPDATE wp_insert_post() already returns a WP_Error object on failure, so simply var_dump( $result ); would give you a specific error message on failure … Read more
wp_insert_post was introduced in changeset 2887, and was to fix bug #1681. I couldn’t find the save_post hook’s original provenance, but it was most recently added to core in changeset 3291, related to ticket #2063. Evidently it had existed in 1.5.2 (although version control does not support this theory) and needed to be added back … Read more
Right there is no big difference between them, actually wp_set_post_terms() uses wp_set_object_terms() but does few extra check for you. That’s also noted on wp_set_object_terms() Codex page: Perhaps the wp_set_post_terms() is a more useful function, since it checks the values, converting taxonomies separated by commas and validating hierarchical terms in integers. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_set_object_terms#Notes
