I can notice few problem without debugging – if (empty($error)) { $new_post = array( // this line is missing ‘post_content’ => ”,/**MUST STAY BLANK!**/ // this line should not be there do_action(‘wp_insert_post’, ‘wp_insert_post’); // variable undefined $post_title | $post_parent | $success
Because you mention an infinite I am guessing that you are hooked into a hook like save_post that fires for wp_insert_post() so if you hook your code into that your code will run then fire the same hook over and over. To avoid that remove the action from the top of your callback: remove_action(‘save_post’,’yourcallbackfunctionname’); $my_post … Read more
You are using the wrong function. wp_insert_post() is for creating posts. You need wp_update_post() if you want to update existing data.
You use add_action! Like this: function save_id_to_file($post_id){ //use your file creation/save function here return $post_id; } add_action(‘wp_insert_post’,’save_id_to_file’);
The reason why your code created drafts only is status=”pending” make it publish Like // Prepare to save! do_action( ‘wpo_frontend_before_save_order’, $order_details, $user_details ); $post = array( ‘post_title’ => $order_details[‘title’], ‘post_author’ => get_current_user_id(), ‘post_type’ => ‘wp_order’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’ ); $postID = wp_insert_post( $post ); if ( is_wp_error( $postID ) ) { set_transient( ‘wpo_new_order_message_’ . get_current_user_id(), … Read more
Read up on Embeds. To trigger an embed use wp_oembed_get($url). In general the url needs to be on it’s own line with a space below and above when inside the_content. wp_insert_post() has nothing to do with embeds as the embed HTML is usually generated when passed through the_content filter. To add support for non-oEmbed sites … Read more
If I understand you correctly, this should work: $first_post = true; $post_parent = 0; foreach ( $books as $book ) { $post = array( ‘post_title’ => esc_html__( ‘Post’, ‘book-cpt’ ), ‘post_content’ => ‘test’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘post_type’ => ‘book’, ‘post_parent’ => $post_parent ); $book_id = wp_insert_post( $post ); if ($first_post) { $post_parent = $book_id; $first_post … Read more
I found the problem. Apparently with the new WP update if you try to insert into a VARCHAR column and the column length is less than what you are trying to insert it just won’t work. Prior to this update it will insert it but trim off the excess characters.
I don’t see where $return is being set. Try changing if( is_wp_error( $user_id ) ) { echo $return->get_error_message(); } to if ( is_wp_error( $user_id ) ) { echo $user_id->get_error_message(); } …and that should hopefully display any error messages that are generated.
After a little more debugging I realized the problem was being caused by another file in my plugin and the above wp_insert_post() code above is working correctly. I guess that explains why I couldn’t find anyone else having this problem. So the CORRECT ANSWER is… if you are working on a plugin and all else … Read more
