From the wp_insert_post() documentation, the page_template argument reads as follow: page_template: If post_type is ‘page’, will attempt to set the page template. On failure, the function will return either a WP_Error or 0, and stop before the final actions are called. If the post_type is not ‘page’, the parameter is ignored. You can set the … Read more
The most common reason is that you run this code without user context (cron, etc). Within wp_insert_post() context WP will check if user has permissions to a taxonomy. No user equals no permissions equals no terms being assigned. The workaround is to create post first, then assign terms to it. When terms are assigned explicitly … Read more
meta_input is just a single-dimension array as key => value: ‘meta_input’ => array( ‘name’ => $post[‘name’], ‘city’ => $post[‘city’] ) tax_input is slightly different, with tax as key and an array of values: ‘tax_input’ => array( ‘taxonomy_name’ => array( ‘term’, ‘term2’, ‘term3’ ) ) Note that for tax_input to work, the user currently logged in … Read more
This part of wp_insert_posts() gives it away: if ( ! empty( $postarr[‘meta_input’] ) ) { foreach ( $postarr[‘meta_input’] as $field => $value ) { update_post_meta( $post_ID, $field, $value ); } } where we see how the post meta fields are updated/added with update_post_meta(). Here’s the inline description for meta_input: Array of post meta values keyed … Read more

This would need a query. So building on your code: <?php $postTitle = $_POST[‘post_title’]; $submit = $_POST[‘submit’]; if(isset($submit)){ global $user_ID, $wpdb; $query = $wpdb->prepare( ‘SELECT ID FROM ‘ . $wpdb->posts . ‘ WHERE post_title = %s AND post_type = \’stuff\”, $postTitle ); $wpdb->query( $query ); if ( $wpdb->num_rows ) { $post_id = $wpdb->get_var( $query ); … Read more
The parameter to insert a custom slug is: ‘post_name’ => ‘my-custom-slug’ Not post_slug as one would think! 🙂
If you don’t add a post_date then WordPress fills it automatically with the current date and time. To set another date and time [ Y-m-d H:i:s ] is the right structure. An example below with your code. $postdate=”2010-02-23 18:57:33″; $new_post = array( ‘post_title’ => $title, ‘post_content’ => $description, ‘post_date’ => $postdate, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘post_parent’ … Read more
Here’s a way to do it with PHP’s array map function: // Good idea to make sure things are set before using them $tags = isset( $_POST[‘tags’] ) ? (array) $_POST[‘tags’] : array(); // Any of the WordPress data sanitization functions can be used here $tags = array_map( ‘esc_attr’, $tags );
