As far as I know you can’t add the thumbnail in the first array you send to create the post, you’ll need to grab the post ID after the wp_insert_post, then run update_post_meta after the first part of the function. If you post your function here we might be able to help a little further.
I solved this problem by creating a new user type with unfiltered_html set to true $result = add_role( ‘jobseeker’, __( ‘Job Seeker’ ), array( ‘read’ => true, ‘edit_posts’ => true, ‘delete_posts’ => true, ‘delete_published_posts’ => true, ‘upload_files’ => true, ‘edit_others_posts’ => false, ‘delete_others_posts’ => false, ‘unfiltered_html’ => true, //this line does the magic ) ); … Read more
Do the other post have to be set to draft? Or would just showing today’s post work? If just showing today’s post works you could do something like the following $today = getdate(); $args = array( ‘category_name’ => ‘event’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ‘year’ => $today[“year”], ‘monthnum’ => $today[“mon”], ‘day’ => $today[“mday”] ); query_posts( $args );

Well, I never got any input on this and ended up going with the function sanitize_title which is more restrictive than I want (processes the title to be used in a URL — essentially returns a slug for the post), but it’s the best solution I’ve been able to find. By running both the 3rd-party … Read more
I found the reason this was not working was because of a conflict with another plugin that was preventing the page from refreshing properly if the user was not logged in.
I found an answer. Essentially I had an infinite loop that was quite puzzling at first. It made more sense as I saw that it never iterated beyond the first item in the post array. I found the answer here: https://tommcfarlin.com/update-post-in-save-post-action/ The issue is that wp_update_post hooks into save_post… so every time I would reach … Read more
Auto draft posts when scheduled date is reached
I was able to solve my problem by calling set_post_format in my save_post callback and making sure to check if its set and not equal to the “no change” option. Not sure if this is the best way to go, but it works. require( plugin_admin_dir . ‘plugin-sync.php’ ); add_action( ‘save_post’, ‘savethepost’, 2000); function savethepost($post_id) { … Read more
