Description

Default post information to use when populating the "Write Post" form.

Before using this function for your own theme or plugin, be wary of these non-obvious implicit behaviors (as of 4.2.3):

• The returned post will have a post_category member set, even if the $post_type does not use the category taxonomy.
• This post_category value will be scalar, which causes warnings passed into wp_insert_post without additional manipulation.
• Some of the post's fields will be pulled out of $_REQUEST if present, which may not be the intended goal.
