Using wp_insert_post() with Networking enabled

0 Views

I’m working on a script that will drop articles directly into the wordpress database, using wp_insert_posts(). However, I have networking enabled and the wp_insert_post() reference page has no documentation relating to using wp_insert_post() to upload to a specific site on the network.

How can I do this with wp_insert_posts()? Or is their another function which does this?

  1. When using function like wp_insert_post() It will work on the currently active blog, meaning that if you are on a blog in your network with blog_id of 2 the the post you insert using wp_insert_post() will be inserted to that blog.

    Now if you want to insert the post to a specific blog you can use switch_to_blog() function which will tell WordPress that “the current blog is” so you can use wp_insert_post() to insert to that specific blog.

    Then to tell WordPress that what is the real current blog you can use restore_current_blog() so:

    switch_to_blog($wanted_blog_ID);
...
...
your wp_insert_post() stuff
...
...
restore_current_blog();

    take a look at WPMU Functions to understand more about the available functions in a network.
