A two-part answer below – As above: the broad solution was to save the posts first as draft, then update them with the custom fields and terms, and only then set them to publish. As I said, the above code modification had succeeded in setting the posts to draft but not in transitioning them to … Read more
What was happening was, the global variable $post wasn’t ending up on the POST page – so in the conditional below where the form was being processes, if ( ‘POST’ == $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_METHOD’] && ! empty($_POST[‘post_id’]) && ! empty($_POST[‘post_title’]) && isset($_POST[‘postcontent’]) ) { header(‘Location: /’); $post_id = $post->ID; $post = array( ‘ID’ => esc_sql($post_id), ‘post_content’ => … Read more
check: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_update_post Make sure not to create an infinite loop. <?php function my_function( $post_id ){ if ( ! wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) ){ // unhook this function so it doesn’t loop infinitely remove_action(‘save_post’, ‘my_function’); // update the post, which calls save_post again wp_update_post( $my_args ); // re-hook this function add_action(‘save_post’, ‘my_function’); } } add_action(‘save_post’, ‘my_function’); ?> … Read more
First things first In a wp_ajax_{action} or wp_ajax_nopriv_{action} callback, the global $post variable is by default a null because WordPress has not yet set it up. You can confirm it using a simple callback like so: add_action( ‘wp_ajax_test’, function(){ global $post; var_dump( $post ); wp_die(); } ); Visit /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=test and you should see NULL displayed … Read more
First of all you saved the the terms value in a post meta table and not following the wordpress conventional method. To make it connect with default category with that post you need to modify your save_post action. Check the modified code. add_action( ‘save_post’, ‘rudr_save_metaboxdata’, 10, 2 ); function rudr_save_metaboxdata( $post_id, $post ) { if … Read more
Try to use wp_update_post() in place of wp_insert_post for update. $id = wp_exist_post_by_title($post[‘post_title’]); if($id !== false) { $post[‘ID’] = $id[“0”]; // Create Post $post_id = wp_update_post( $post ); } else { $post_id = wp_insert_post( $post ); }
When commenting out wp_update_post( $post ), the update_post_meta is working fine. Yes, the problem is not with update_post_meta(), but it is wp_update_post() because it uses wp_insert_post() which fires the save_post_foglalas hook (i.e. save_post_<post type>), and because your function calls wp_update_post(), then your function gets called infinitely and eventually caused the White Screen Of Death (WSOD). … Read more
Short answer: You have a logical error in your code, this condition is wrong: if($wpdbupdate === 0) Replace it with: if($wpdbupdate >= 0) and it will work as expected. Long explanation: $wpdb->update method returns the number of rows updated, which is 1 in your case, so your code continues to the next block and status … Read more
Looking at core, it seems post_category always overwrites: // Passed post category list overwrites existing category list if not empty. Instead, try something like: //wp_set_post_terms( $post_id, $terms, $taxonomy, $append ) wp_set_post_terms( $entry[“post_id”], 48, $taxonomy, true ) Obviously, replace $taxonomy with the correct name.
Sometimes I use this code when I want to run WordPress externally. update.php function find_wordpress_base_path() { $dir = dirname(__FILE__); do { //it is possible to check for other files here if( file_exists($dir.”/wp-config.php”) ) { return $dir; } } while( $dir = realpath(“$dir/..”) ); return null; } define( ‘BASE_PATH’, find_wordpress_base_path().”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” ); define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false); global $wp, $wp_query, … Read more
