I have a created a wordpress plugin that needs to create a page dynamically.
When the plugin is activated a page is created COOKIE_POLICY.
From my reading I found that inserting into the DB is the best way. And below is the way to do it. However, when I activate the plugin, there is no page or post created.
I go this from:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post
function create_policy() {
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => wp_strip_all_tags( $_POST['COOKIE_POLICY'] ),
'post_content' => $_POST['Here is all our cookie policy info'],
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_category' => array( 8,30 )
);
// Insert the post into the database
wp_insert_post( $my_post );
}
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'create_policy' );
This code is nearly correct. Below is the fixed code
function create_policy() {
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => 'cookiepolicy',
'post_content' => 'this is my content',
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_category' => array( 3,4 )
);
// Insert the post into the database
wp_insert_post( $my_post );
}
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'create_policy' );

When posting html content below it posts fine with the admin, but any other user it strips all HTML tags
$my_post = array('post_title' => $title,
'post_content' => $content,
'post_category' => array(520),
'post_status' => 'Publish',
'post_name' => $url
);
$result = wp_insert_post( $my_post );
Is there a way to allow any user to post HTML tags.
I found that if I use this before the code, it works.
$sub_role = get_role( 'subscriber' );
$sub_role->add_cap( 'unfiltered_html', true );
I am trying to add a button in wordpress that deletes a custom-post-type post with a specific title and current user as author.
Problem that occurring is that all the posts gets deleted, all the job_alert posts, not only for this specific author or with this title.
Can someone see why?
$delete_post = array(
'post_type' => 'job_alert',
'post_title' => $title,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => $current_user->ID
);
$posts = new WP_Query( $delete_post );
if ( $posts->have_posts() ) {
while ( $posts->have_posts() ) {
$posts->the_post();
wp_delete_post( get_the_ID());
}
}
I also have this code that creates a post and that works great. Similar code.
$new_post = array(
'post_type' => 'job_alert',
'post_title' => $title,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => $current_user->ID
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $new_post );
For deleting the particular post, here is the solution,
Please use name parameter instead of post_title in your query, then only it will return the required post which you want.
I have modified your code. Please find the updated code below:
$delete_post = array(
'post_type' => 'job_alert',
'name' => $title,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => $current_user->ID
);
Now, your required post will be returned.
Hope, this may be helpful to you and let me know, if you have any query.
Thanks.
I've created a plugin for wordpress that can auto post pages on demand
my problem is formatting this pages to a specific template
I need that when the post page is auto inserted in the DB, set the Sidebar position to disabled in order to have a full width page and hide the page title... this options appear in the dashboard and I can click on them one by one, but that has to be automatic, not manually.
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => wp_strip_all_tags( $tituloFichaP1 ),
'post_content' => $content,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_category' => array( 8,39 ),
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_parent' => $parentPost,
'page_template' => 'microsite',
'comment_status' => 'open',
);
wp_insert_post( $my_post );
By the way, the page_template attribute ('page_template' => 'microsite') doesn't work either. Te post is inserted but the template is set to default.
Thanks in advance!!!
I just go through you code, you have done a simple mistake, in "page_template" that should be a file name (filename.php) of your template not a template name . for ex. if your template microsite's file name is microsite.php than your code will be.
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => wp_strip_all_tags( $tituloFichaP1 ),
'post_content' => $content,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_category' => array( 8,39 ),
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_parent' => $parentPost,
'page_template' => 'microsite.php',
'comment_status' => 'open',
);
wp_insert_post( $my_post );
Hope this will help you.
whenever someone purchases the product test, a new post is created and saved under the category with the post meta being set with key "order_id" being set to the order_id of the order.
add_action( 'woocommerce_after_checkout_validation', 'test3' );
function test3(){
global $woocommerce;
print_r($woocommerce);
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => 'Test',
'post_content' => 'This is test post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_category' => array( 8,39 )
);
// Insert the post into the database
wp_insert_post( $my_post );
}
I think you want to create a new post with postmeta 'order_id' => 45 after checkout completion? if its so, my code will help you.
add_action('woocommerce_new_order', 'order_check', 10, 1);
function order_check($order_id) {
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => 'Test',
'post_content' => 'This is test post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_category' => array(8, 39)
);
// Insert the post into the database
$post_id = wp_insert_post($my_post);
add_post_meta($post_id, 'order_id', $order_id);
}
When I want to use wp_insert_post( $my_post ); function i get the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare create_initial_post_types() (previously
declared in
/home/izradawe/public_html/mydomain.com/wp-includes/post.php:20) in
/home/izradawe/public_html/mydomain.com/wp-includes/post.php on line
152
Can you help me with this?
Code which I using:
include_once('../wp-load.php');
include("../wp-includes/post.php");
// Creating post
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => 'My post',
'post_content' => 'This is my post.',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_category' => 5,
'post_type' => 'post'
);
// Insert the post into the database
wp_insert_post( $my_post );
In order to gain access to Wordpress' main functions, try:
<?php
include '../wp-blog-header.php';
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => 'My post',
'post_content' => 'This is my post.',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_category' => 5,
'post_type' => 'post'
);
wp_insert_post( $my_post );
?>
If you writing the code inside single.php or index.php or any template file inside template directory no need to include the file wp-load.php or post.php
Change include into include_once.
