Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to insert a new post manually using code into my custom type post call quote. I have created the relevant post fields. here is my code:
global $wpdb;
$todayquote = date("F j, Y, g:i a");
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => $mydisplayname,
'post_content' => 'Quotes.',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'comment-status' => 'closed',
'ping-status' => 'closed',
'post_author' => 1,
'post-type' => 'quote',
);
$new_post_id = wp_insert_post( $my_post, $wp_error=true );
update_post_meta($new_post_id,'wpcf-eventdates' , $eventDate);
update_post_meta($new_post_id,$new_post_id,'wpcf-nailtechnician', $name);
update_post_meta($new_post_id,'wpcf-wpcf-wigs',$Wigs);
update_post_meta($new_post_id,'wpcf-weaveandextension' ,$WeaveandExtension);
update_post_meta($new_post_id,'wpcf-postcodequote', $postcode);
update_post_meta($new_post_id,'wpcf-starttime', $startAndfinishS);
update_post_meta($new_post_id,'wpcf-finishtime', $startAndfinishF);
update_post_meta($new_post_id,'wpcf-lashestechnician' , $Lashestechnician);
update_post_meta($new_post_id,'wpcf-professionalmakeup', $ProfessionalMakeup);
update_post_meta($new_post_id,'wpcf-braidingandplating', $BraidingandPlating);
update_post_meta($new_post_id,'wpcf-timeavailability' , $timeavailability);
update_post_meta($new_post_id,'wpcf-homevisit' , $homevisit);
if(!is_wp_error($new_post_id)){
echo ' Inserted into database';
}else{
echo $ids->get_error_message();
}
I don't get error and it says the data has been inserted but when i check in the back end I don't see the new post.
