I have a few hundreds of PDFs and I try to upload them programmatically in Wordpress and attach them in a custom post type with Advanced Custom Fields.
This is part of my code where I create the attachment
function update_attachment( $f, $pid, $file_url ){
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $pid, $f );
if( empty( $file_url ) )
return false;
$wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$filetype = wp_check_filetype( basename( $file_url ), null );
// Prepare an array of post data for the attachment.
$attachment = array(
'guid' => $wp_upload_dir['url'] . '/' . basename( $file_url ),
'post_parent' => $pid,
'post_title' => preg_replace( '/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename( $file_url ) ),
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit',
'post_mime_type' => $filetype['type'],
);
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $file_url );
return array(
'pid' => $pid,
'url' => $file_url,
'attach_id' => $attach_id
);
}
//create the custom post type
$post_id = wp_insert_post(array (
'post_type' => 'resources',
'post_title' => $file['Title'],
'post_status' => 'publish',
'comment_status' => 'closed',
'ping_status' => 'closed',
));
//Create the attachment in Media
$att = update_attachment( 'file', $post_id , 'migration/' . $file['FileName'] );
//Save the attachment to the ACF field
update_field('field_5eeb34e23731c', $att['attach_id'], $post_id );
The $file variable is an array where I have created before this code and contains the info of the pdf.
The post is created with the correct attachment. However, the permalink of the media file is the one from the post I created.
mydomain.org/resources/filename/
So, when I open the url mydomain.org/wp-content/uploads/migration/filename.pdf it redirects to the url above.

I tried to insert a post using the wp_insert_post function in the functions.php file, the post successfully inserted, but not for the attachment for featured image.
Anyone can help on this, what's wrong with my code below:
$post_if = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT count(post_title) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_title like '$title'");
if($post_if < 1){
//coded
$new_post = array(
'post_title' => $title,
'post_content' => $contents,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_type' => 'post'
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post);
$image = "https://fake.org/image.jpg";
$media = media_sideload_image($image, $post_id); //$post_id from wp_insert_post
// therefore we must find it so we can set it as featured ID
if(!empty($media) && !is_wp_error($media)){
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_status' => 'any',
'post_parent' => $post_id
);
// reference new image to set as featured
$attachments = get_posts($args);
if(isset($attachments) && is_array($attachments)){
foreach($attachments as $attachment){
// grab source of full size images (so no 300x150 nonsense in path)
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment->ID, 'full');
// determine if in the $media image we created, the string of the URL exists
if(strpos($media, $image[0]) !== false){
// if so, we found our image. set it as thumbnail
set_post_thumbnail($post_id, $attachment->ID);
// only want one image
break;
}
}
}
}
I tried so many tutorials, I found over the web, nothing to work.
Please any one has experienced with this can share a solution.
Big Thanks
You would need to set the "featured image" first and then try to query it. You tried to do the opposite. Also set the parent id in the wp_insert_attachment function not in the arguments.
So try this code:
$new_post = array(
'post_title' => $title,
'post_content' => $contents,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_type' => 'post'
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post);
$image = "https://fake.org/image.jpg";
$attachment_file_type = wp_check_filetype(basename($image), null);
$wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$attachment_args = array(
'guid' => $wp_upload_dir['url'] . '/' . basename($image),
'post_title' => preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename($image)),
'post_mime_type' => $attachment_file_type['type']
);
$attachment_id = wp_insert_attachment($attachment_args, $image, $post_id);
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php');
$attachment_meta_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata($attachment_id, $image);
wp_update_attachment_metadata($attachment_id, $attachment_meta_data);
set_post_thumbnail($post_id, $attachment_id);
Here's the documentation page for

Hello Friends I used to set post thumbnail programmatically.
this is my code.
foreach ($csv as $key => $value) {
$filename = "wp-content/uploads/images/".$value[8].".jpg";
$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype(basename($filename), null );
$attachment = array(
'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
'post_title' => preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename($filename)),
'post_content' => 'this is the first project file.',
'post_status' => 'Published'
);
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => $value[0],
'post_content' => $value[2],
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_type' => 'post_staff'
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $my_post );
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $filename,$post_id);
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $filename );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
add_post_meta($post_id, '_thumbnail_id', $attach_id);
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_staff_name', $value[1] );
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_staff_city', $value[3] );
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_staff_postal_code', $value[4] );
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_staff_direct_line', $value[5] );
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_staff_fax', $value[6] );
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_staff_email', $value[7] );
$tagd = array( 9 );
wp_set_post_terms( $post_id, $tagd, 'department' );
if($value[3] == "St. John's, NL"){
$tagl = array( 8 );
}else if($value[3] == "Corner Brook"){
$tagl = array( 7 );
}
wp_set_post_terms( $post_id, $tagl, 'location' );
if(set_post_thumbnail( $post_id, $attach_id )){
echo "image set";
}
}
This is working fine but the imported feature image with size 1x1 width = 1 and height = 1
why it takes width and height is 1 automatically please help.
when i trying to get image using get_the_post_thumbnail the return image.
image is found but by default the image width = 1 and height = 1 take.
this is my code.
get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID(), array(250,165))
Thank you.
This Function is used to import post with image in wordpress.

return false;
}

$artDir = 'wp-content/uploads/importedmedia/';
//if the directory doesn't exist, create it
if(!file_exists(ABSPATH.$artDir)) {

}
//rename the file... alternatively, you could explode on "/" and keep the original file name
$extpop = explode(".", $file_url);
$ext = array_pop($extpop);
$new_filename = 'blogmedia-'.$post_id.".".$ext; //if your post has multiple files, you may need to add a random number to the file name to prevent overwrites
if (#fclose(#fopen($file_url, "r"))) { //make sure the file actually exists
copy($file_url, ABSPATH.$artDir.$new_filename);
$siteurl = get_option('siteurl');
$file_info = getimagesize(ABSPATH.$artDir.$new_filename);
//create an array of attachment data to insert into wp_posts table
$artdata = array();
$artdata = array(
'post_author' => 1,
'post_date' => current_time('mysql'),

'post_excerpt' => '',
'post_content' => ''
);
$uploads = wp_upload_dir();
$save_path = $uploads['basedir'].'/importedmedia/'.$new_filename;
//insert the database record
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $artdata, $save_path, $post_id );
//generate metadata and thumbnails
if ($attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $save_path)) {
wp_update_attachment_metadata($attach_id, $attach_data);
}
//optional make it the featured image of the post it's attached to
$rows_affected = $wpdb->insert($wpdb->prefix.'postmeta', array('post_id' => $post_id, 'meta_key' => '_thumbnail_id', 'meta_value' => $attach_id));
}
else {
return false;
}
return true;
}
Pass value to this function like.
$file_name = 'full path of existing image';
$post_id = '1';
fetch_media($filename,$post_id);
Thank you.
I am using XMLRPC to do posts to Wordpress. I am having issues posting thumbnails, after debugging wordpress code I see that my issue is caused by the fact that the image is not attached to the post.
I must do this without patching wordpress or using PHP, only iwth XMLRPC.
I can upload an image and get the ID of the image.
Other point that confuses me is how do you attach an image to a post that you did not posted yet because you wait for the image to upload? I am supposed to upload image then post ,then using the image id and the post id do an update on the image metadata?
Edit: the code in wordpress that is problematic is this check
if ( $thumbnail_html = wp_get_attachment_image( $thumbnail_id, 'thumbnail' ) )
and my assumption it is that it fails because the image is Unattached, if i fix that code all is fine but I can't patch the WP of my application users(so this is not a solution)
Yes it is possible to do it, if Wordpress version is 3.5 or greater,when using the code for uploading file/image you can set the post_id.
The flow I used for new posts with featured images is like this:
use the newPost function and post the content without the featured
image and also set publish to false, record the post_id returned by
this
upload the image and set the post_id to the id of the post just
posted, record the image_id
when done edit the post and set the wp_post_thumbnail equal to the
image_id you just uploaded and also set publish to true(if needed)
Important:
The mime type is important, it must be "image/jpg" or "image/png" please see documentation, if mime type is worng like "jpg" attaching will fail.
Tip:
For debugging, if you get a generic error from wordpress and you can't figure out why you can check the wordpress code and even edit it, adding debugging/tracing calls and hopefully you can figure out the cause.
This is an example of a post with category, image and tags. It requires class-IXR.php

i have following code:
$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype( basename( $image_url ), null );
$wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$attachment = array(
'guid' => $wp_upload_dir['url']. '/' . basename( $image_url ),
'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
'post_title' => preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename($image_url)),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'publish'
);
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $image_url );
everything works fine, but the attached img tag has a different url than expected in its src attribute. ( wp-contents/uploads instead of wp-contents/uploads/2013/03/ )
Try changing $wp_upload_dir['url'] to $wp_upload_dir['path'], or $uploads['baseurl'] . $uploads['subdir'].
i was developing some theme that could create new post on front end. my issue is that when the "add media" has uploaded the photo, everything works well, except that when i set the "set featured image" for that post is not showing on the "thumbnail" when the post is published.
this is the wp_editor code setup:
<?php
$setupev = array(
'media_buttons'=>1,
'textarea_name'=>'post_ne',
'tinymce' => true );
wp_editor('content here', 'create_nepost', $setupev);
?>
this is the code i use to publish new post:
$the_contnt = $_POST['post_ne'];
$new_post = array(
'post_title' => $get_title,
'post_content' => $the_contnt,
'post_date' => date('YmdHis'),
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_category' => array(8,5)
);
wp_insert_post( $new_post );
is there some code to add-in to get the attachment thumbnail?
you need to use set_post_thumbnail() function. two things you require for this function are the $post_id which is the id you are providing to wp_insert_post() and $attach_id which is the id of attachment.
set_post_thumbnail( $post_id, $attach_id );
you already have $post_id, to find $attach_id
$attachment = array(
'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
'post_title' => sanitize_file_name($filename),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit'`
);
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $file, $post_id );
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php');
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $file );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
