Problem Updating Post With wp_insert_post
-
I am trying to change the title and content of a post, while leaving its slug and ID unchanged. Simultaneously, I am trying to save options for use in the updated post, or possibly save the modifications as metadata.
I don’t understand what I am doing, and it doesn’t save or overwrite the existing post.
Any suggestions on how to find and correct my error?
Here is my code …
<?php // Data to insert into post global $user_ID; $offer_3_post = array( // Identify the post that will be overwritten 'ID' => $target_3_postid , 'post_category' => array($target_3_cat_id), // Fille the new array with standard information 'post_status' => 'publish', 'post_date' => $target_3_post_date, 'post_author' => $user_ID, 'post_name' => $target_3_post_slug, 'post_type' => 'post', 'comment_status' => 'closed', 'ping_status' => 'closed', // Fill the new array from the old 'post_title' => $source_3_title, 'post_content' => $source_3_content, 'post_excerpt' => $source_3_excerpt, 'to_ping' => $source_3_toping, 'pinged' => $source_3_didping, 'post_content_filtered' => $source_3_filteredcontent, 'post_parent' => $source_3_parent, 'guid' => $source_3_guid, 'post_mime_type' => $source_3_mimetype ); ?> <form action="" name ="offer_3_options" method="post"> <b>Edit your offer description here.
